Reply To: Type of External Drive

im not clear on what you are saying

i thought an “external drive” was basically an internal drive on the outside

i thought a “usb drive” was solid state, like a thumb drive or media card.

are you saying the iomega usb 320 gb drive on amazon for about $60 is not solid state but is basically an internal drive on the outside?

how come then “usb drives” come in capacities lower than “external drives”? i havent seen any over 500 GB

im confused.
