“How would something like this differ from an external Hard Drive?”

1-3 of 3 Answers

• Yes, this is wired to the computer through a SATA port and cable. This type of connection is twice as fast as even USB 3.0 and designed specific for drives making it more efficient.

• An external hard drive will have a usb cable connection to your computer. An internal hard drive will connect inside your computer with SATA connections that come with your computer if it was manufactured within recent years.

• Internal IDE connection external would be USB or FireWire ... I *believe* internal IDE transfer is a much faster speed than USB 2.0.
