Looking to purchase a new computer desktop. The one I really like comes with one main drive, and can only be attached one other drive to it.
In my current desktop, I have three drives (1 OS and 2 others for my data), that's total of 3.
If I purchase the new one am interested in, can I externally connected a drive, a with the SATA cable to a USB 3.0 port, and leave the drive on the floor, on top of the desktop, or even duct tape it on it's side.
What would be the significant difference between internally and externally connected hard drives?
Cheers
