thegreatiandi Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Hi all. I currently have my 4year old hyperspin cabinet running off of very meager pc components. And Athlon dual core 3 gigs of ddr 3 Nvidia 1.5ghz ddr2 gforce 2 old ide hard drives I want to revamp this ( I'm afraid to...took me forever 4years ago ) however. I have a 3.2amd 8core cpu 6 gigs of ddr4 msi Radeon 7900 4gig ddr3 So I'm thinking the new specs will be fine since the old specs work just fine. I'm more concerned about the hard drives. Currently I have 2 500gig hard drives. I know these will be failing anytime now ( these are old ide drives ). I was thinking for the new build, I would use a few 3tb Lacie hard drives. Does anyone see an issue with using external hard drives? I would love to do this, because I will be able to back these up/copy the drives. And have an exact duplication of all of the hard work that goes into getting this stuff up and running. Thanks ahead of time guys! :thefinger:I do my fighting in the real world, In a sanctioned cage or ring, not online tough guys:eviltongue: Gracie Trained. Purple Belt Get some
Erika Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 In short, it should work fine. Assuming you have everything setup correctly, there should be no issue using external drives rather than internal. The drives should ideally be fast (7200RPM would be recommened), and you should use a fast connection type/transfer protocol (like USB 3.0), though. Otherwise, you may run into issues.
