also, i am only looking at external drives because i have a laptop only. can you tell me if there is a way to atatch an enhanced IDE (ATAPI) device to a laptop?
You can get a regular internal drive and get an adapter to plug it into your laptop via USB. I bought one that has IDE and SATA support of $15...they're not that expensive
