I got one from Christmas and it is a complete peice of shit. Whenever I try to acess something on it from anywhere else in the house its not available or miserably slow.

Anyone wanna trade me an 500gb IDE internal drive for a maxtor 500gb external????

I thought of that.

I cant find any screws and I am scared if I do that and its some oddball thing I will be fucked.

Laptop.
Plug into USB, 30 seconds later, you have 500gb more space.



If you're someone who doesn't know how to take apart laptops thats almost always the better option, aside from limited space inside, and feeling like you're going to fuck something up.

You could plug it into a Time Capsule and maximize the storage to 1.5 terabytes

Ah so basically its my parents fault for not understanding that I needed somewhere on my DESKTOP computer to put all that music.

What is the other hard drive interface? SATA? What happens if I break in to this and thats what it is?
