Mass transfer of data?

Pages: << < (3/10) > >>

mccoy178:

I personally have an external HD that I use to transfer large amounts of data.  You could buy just an enclosure.  It is very handy and worth the investment in my opinion.

JonnyBoy:

I just talked to my friend. He has a IDE to usb adaptor. That's my best option now.

dpz147:

I don't think I've ever heard of an IDE to USB adapter.  Assuming you would have to open your PC to hook up the IDE side...wouldn't slaving the drive be almost as easy?

JonnyBoy:

I can take out the hard drive in the machine and hook it up to my main computer externally, without having to worry about opening up my main PC. And I don't have to play with jumpers.

That's the 'enclosure' that mccoy178 mentioned. 
I will also second that suggestion.  Get an HD enclosure -- they are very handy to have.
