Topic: Playing videos off an EXTERNAL HD for laptop...

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi,

Thanks for any help from those who have experience in doing this...

I would like to use my laptop with music video (.vob) and .wav files and use an extrnal HD. Do you expect any problems becuase it is external?

I wanted to use Firewire 800- any comments on this?

WIll this be much different (speed) than coming straight off my hardrive?

The external will be a Western Difital My Book Pro Edition 500GB Triple Interface External Hard Drive

Thanks,

If it is Firewire or USB 2.0 it should work as fast as internal HD, no difference.
