Hello,<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I am going to buy a 300G harddisk and an external hard drive case (USB 2.0) to use on a Windows 2000 Professional OS system. As I have heard that external hard drive cases are sometimes not functioning properly (i.e. not recognised by the OS), could anyone suggest a reliable drive case for my use.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Moreover, for a 300G external harddisk, do I need to use a serial ATA internal bus drive case (instead of ATA-133) ? Is the firewire external interface much faster than a USB 2.0 interface ? Are there more information for the speed of the two interfaces ?<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Thanks for any suggestion.<br />
<br />
