[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 117800, member: 1447"] USB takes ages to transfer files - if you can find one that accepts E-SATA and then get a raid card which supports E-SATA then it might make it quicker - i got my chassis at R299 each (bought three of those - i use one to connect to the media player and two to connect via E-SATA to the PC for transferring stuff from the large storage drives to the smaller playback drive) and got a raid card for R250 all from PC Zone heres what im talking about the chassis as well as pci raid card [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/naughty001/new%20pc/DSC00891.jpg[/IMG] i can easily connect via USB to the media player for media external drive playback but when im transferring data on the PC i connect with the E-SATA which is as fast as internal SATA for data transfer - and if you use something like an Oppo BDP 93/95 those have E-SATA connections as well the problem with USB 3.0 is that you need USB 3.0 support on the mobo - and this is only available on state of the art current mobo's - so if your pc is basic or old you might need to also use an add on card for that too - and in this instance i preferred the E-SATA cos i had grandiose plans for an Oppo player but i have shelved those - but im still glad to have the faster E-SATA connections on the PC - you dont have to wait hours for a 30 gig bluray MKV to transfer between drives [/QUOTE]
