HAY GUYS

A few days ago I bought a 400GB (USB 2.0) HD.
What I'm wondering over is that it seems to take much longer copying files to the external HD, compared to my other HDs - between C: to D:
Is it supposed to be that way, or can I do something about it?

At first I had the external HD connected to a USB hub, but I got some error message about the HD being full and then changed to connecting it to an USB port at the front of my computer.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yes, I get some message about that the device can work faster. I guess your right about the 2.0 USB, I'm going to check it out and see if I can make it work.

Maybe off-topic, a little, but should I be more careful about leaving the external HD on for a long time (6+ hours, for example)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Thank you for replying.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm chillin' even more in northern Sweden.
