Hi All
i wanted to ask you all if you have read the latest Feb 2005 Digit Issue.
There is a mention of "Case" in which i can insert my IDE - PATA HDD.
and that "Case" is connected to the PC through a USB port.
This "Case" functions more like a "External HDD Reader"
Just like we insert a Memory Card in a Card Reader
here
We insert a IDE - PATA - HDD into this case and that HDD is now accessible on our PC.
I will call this "Case" as a USB HDD Reader for my convenience.
although it can read and write to a HDD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now doubts are as follows
My Configs
~~~~~~~
ASUS Made - Intel 440BX Motherboard - [5yrs OLD]
Intel P-III 450Mhz
256MB SD Ram
Nvida Riva TNT 8MB
Samsung 40GB - 7200rpm - PATA [using in 32GB Clip Mode]
Creative SBLive 5.1
OS - Win98
1.> Will this USB HDD Reader work with my Config.
2.> I have a USB 1.1 slot will it work with it.
3.> Are there drivers for it which will help in using it on Win98
3.> Since my PC cant support more that 32GB , as this USB HDD Reader
is independent of my Motherboard can i use 40/80/120/160/200/250 GB HDD's
on my Config using this USB HDD Reader.
4.> If anyone is using this hardware "USB HDD Reader" can some one
suggest me a good brand and what problems have you faced using it.
5.> What will be the cost of this USB HDD Reader if anyone already has it.
I am really intrested in buying this but i wanted to clear my doubts
before i buy it.
Wating for your replies.
