Question Ext HD use

Hi Gang

Might be a stupid question but I am going to ask it any way. Of you that know me on here just know I will ask it any way.

I had a ext HD storage unit that the electronics of the unit went bad but the HD is still good. Is there any diff between a drive that is used in one of these, and a normal HD.? It is a 500G drive so I would really like to be able to use it.

Thanx....Gunny

No difference at all. Just check the jumper settings if it's IDE.

Hi GLC

First I don't see you at all then I see you 3 times, how about that.

Thanx again, both of the HD's are SATA drives.

Thanx and take care....Gunny
