Windows 7 from Ext. HDD - ProspectDotNet - 10-08-2009
Hi guys! I'm current installing Win 7 on my external hard drive. Any ideas on how it might be affected, performance wise?
I love the look of it, hope everything goes well. I can't wait to try it.

What are the specs of your External Hard Drive?

I can't find how many Ram memory does it has.

External hard disk drives don't support RAM. They are used solely for storage.

Since it is eSATA should be just as fast as a normal HDD

I don't think the performance will differ from using an internal drive, according to what I've read.
I've never done this before, though.

It might as you can see in the Specs:
OS Support : Mac OS X 10.2 or greater, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista
It might work not 100% sure

Just a heads up guys. It works fine. Just have to figure out why I can't connect to any wireless routers.
