    Hi guys,

    What if I am running 2 External HD off of USB ... DO I also have to look out for the right sizing of my PSU ... I have 2 internal HD already a 70G for my main software programs and a 300G for Files and stuff ... I am using my External 250G's for DVD stuff.

    Thanks!
    G!

      @Night - I ran 4HDDs and 2 DVD devices in my PIII box without any problems using 2 power splitters on a 200 WATT power supply. 2HDD were on the primary IDE channel, 2 were on a PCI controller card. The 2 DVD devices were on the secondary IDE channel.
      Right now I am running 4HDD's and 2 DVD devices in my AMD 1500+ box with 2 power splitters and no problems. 2 of the HDDs are on a PCI card.

        Thanks I know I will have to use the power splitter, I think I will head to BB for that before the 10% coupon out of date 9/4

        can't do 10% but got the drive any way
