I've had the HD out of a Buffalo drive before, looks like a regular disk BUT it couldn't be seen by the PC I installed it into. I guess the board on the drive has a BIOS that is specifically configured to operate with the OS in the Buffalo unit.

You may have a different experience though - give it a go - can't harm.

I have 1 tb of old external hard drives that I am trying to consolidate tonight. There are 6 drives total and I only have 1 casing. Son of a bitch this is going to take forever.

Does everyone just toss out their old external hd's or what do you do with them? I think the biggest one is 200 gb and it is slow.

I usually donate my old computers, so I really can't answer your question, David

I might - I do have a computer that could use a new HDD
