external hard disk kit problem
well ive run out of hard disk space like every other laptop user and i wanted to try and set up an external kit
what i had in mind was to use a PCMCIA card to IDE or SATA connector to connect via the pcmcia slot to a normal IDE or SATA internal hard disk drive in an enclosure...
is this possible or a pipe dream?
if it is possible - will the connected hard disk have the capacity/speed to boot up an operating system or run apps off it?
also what would anyone recommend - an IDE or SATA HD considering the fact that its connected via a PCMCIA card and its performance is/isnt limited by it...
really hope someone can help as i havent got a clue
