HDD dock question...
Last response: in Storage
I'm about to use a hdd dock that allows EIDE drives via USB to my computer to transfer a bunch of data from a few drives over to a new SATA drive.
Is there anything I need to know going into this so nothing crashes or acts up? Data transfer rates, anything like that? I don't wanna do this and then have someone go...
"did you lower the transfer rate cap on the thingy so you wouldn't overflow the dude?"
"uh....no."
"oh ok well it's going to keep crashing unless you do that and you'll overheat the EIDE hdd"
By the way, the computer has no IDE drivers so the dock's being a bit annoying about recognizing the drives.
Any thoughts?

Seems to give me trouble every time now.
I should also say that I have a laptop that is considerably older than this PC. I built this PC this summer without IDE because I was told I could always use my dock.
But my laptop is about 6 years old and I've never had trouble with the dock on it. Can I plug the duck in one USB port and the new SATA external HDD in another USB port?

U could use some PCI IDE card too and use the drives u still have plugged in. Or not.
