Hi all, my collection of lossless is getting insane and I need more space. My 120gb external has 5gb free space and my 250gb internal has about 30-40gb free. I want to be able to free up the primary drive so that that operating system runs smoothly, put all of my very favorite stuff on the external (but not use it, only for archiving), and just put all of my lossless on the 2nd internal drive.
I have two main questions
1)How do I find out what type of interface I have (ie: IDE Ultra ATA100, SATA 3.0Gb/s, SCSI Ultra320 68pin, SCSI Ultra320 80pin, Serial ATA150)
2) How do I actually install the thing
I've read a few threads about preferred brands of hard drives and I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to get a seagate. I've found a 320gb at newegg.com for 99.99 with $5 shipping in either SATA 3.0 or IDE Ultra ata100. I think this is a damn good deal.
If I can't figure this out, I'll just buy an external case for about 30-50 and be done with it. However, the point of my inquery is so that I won't have to resort to this.
Any help is greatly appreciated
P.S. - How do I find out what type of RAM my comp. uses?
