I need an external drive USB 2 to use with EAC, possibly to achieve 100% accuracy and long lasting duration, as I would like to rip hundreds audio CDs without spending my life ripping at 0.8x !!!!!
Any advice? |

Just buy any drive and put it in an external USB case. Worked well for me, no problems whatsoever...

You might have trouble getting C2 error information transferred over the ATA-to-USB bridge. (Don't know which ones work though, I use a Firewire device or internal.)

I don't see any firewire enclosures for 5 1/4. How about eSATA? Does anyone know how that handles C2?

eSATA passes C2 in all cases that I am aware (as long as is native SATA, not a USB >> eSATA).

Blutarsky: I didn't mean to recommend using firewire, sorry for being unclear. (I use firewire because the device forced me to, not because it is a good interface.)
eSATA is probably a good idea yes. -------------------- geocities.com/hydrogenaudio: http://goo.gl/tqYZj
