quick question

[Morpheus]

which is faster? a usb 3.0 external hard drive 5400rpm or if i remove the casing and use it with a sata connection instead?

Sata connection

Sata connection

fo show?

Yeah, but I mean regardless you're limited to the speed of the drive, in this case 5400rpm

i was just wondering if the usb 3.0 might bottleneck it but i do understand that the speed will always hold it back

I don't really think that the performance difference would be that big in the first place, to the point where usb 3.0 would be considered a "bottleneck"

ehh okay because i need to be constantly transferring files from on place to another so just wondering, anyway thanks

Yeah i'd say your best bet is just moving the hard drive into your case, that way there is no chance of a usb cable getting bump or coming unplugged and interrupting your transfer Plus slightly fast speed

Transfer speeds shouldn't be bottlenecked but access times and such will have added latency from the usb 3.0 adapter.
