RE: Hardware (& external drive) setup options?

There may be problems if you use the same USB controller for audio and file access. Most PCs have multiple USB controllers. These can be identified in Windows 7 by using Device Manager with the connection view.

I added ESATA capability to my computer for $6.00 plus the external cable. This was necessary to get addressing capability for 4 TB drives, as my BLACK-X device was limited to 2 TB over USB 2.0. In addition, I/O performance via ESATA is much better than it was over USB. This matters to me, because my primary purpose is to do off-site backups. I have no idea how this cable or device might sound, as I do not use it for audio.
