I'm not very good at the Hardwere of a cpu so gonna ask anyone whos on here I got the crapyist cpu in the world but can still run some stuff and my hard drive only has 20gb or somethin so i wannna get an extrenal one so i can also bring it places.. So my question is that for external hard drives does it really matter a certain one of external hard drive like do i have to buy a certain model for my cpu?
nope, nearly anything will work. Just make sure that you get the right interface(usb usually works) some things use eSATA but your computer probably won't have that.
ive used my WD mybook on my crappy10+ year old computer for a few years now , im use it mainly on my laptop now but ive had no problems at all and my old comp had a 30gb hd and a crappy cpu aswell
get a USB external harddrive, they are just plug in and use. i got a 1TB (well 1000GB) and it was cheap. USB work with even old comps as long as they have a USB(obviously)
ok thx alot everyone... it was probably kinda retared question for u but ohh welll thx everyone.. I was planing on getting a 1TB (1000 gb) usb one... as u said kay.. OFF TOPIC: Lol my cpu failes so much way to old... only has 1.1GHZ for the processor speed...But my other cpu has 1.4 GHz which still kinda fails
i think i got a piddle 1.4 myself, eugh and my really old comp is 733 -.- still runs the 1tb somehow though
CPU power isn't a major factor in hard drive performance. Worst case scenario, it just trasnfers slower than normal.
nah, it think i read somewhere on my harddrive box that it has its own processor. cos the transfer speed is pretty much the same on my old comp as it is on my newer comps. but then again i know very little on hardware
