I have just bought a Dell Inspiron laptop for home recording, uni work, web browsing/multi purpose stuff. It has dual core i5 proc, 4 gig RAM, 5400 RPM hard disk. I will be running Cubase Artist 6 with an Mbox 2. After doing some research it seems 5400 RPM doesn't really cut it and I am looking to upgrade with an external for recording/storing projects onto. Question is what should I go for? All stuff online says that I really need a 7200 RPM disk, however I have seen post about eSATA disks that run much faster and are more suitable for this type of thing. According to Dell, my laptop has 2 x USB 3.0 port, 1 USB 2 port and a 'USB 2.0 with E-SATA & Power Share' port. Does anyone know what this means? Can I run an eSATA drive? What should I do? Any help will be greatly appreciated as i am quite new to this. Thanks in advance.
