It’s a dektop, but my sata controller went bunk (it was affected by the Intel Sandy Bridge sata fiasco), so my internal slots that still work are full, and my esata drive stopped being accessible. I need it to be external in any case for changing worksites. Rather than get an sata/esata pci card I thought to be a bit more future-friendly (in terms of laptops and other devices) to go USB3, knowing it would be a bit of a hit in speed. I can see from initial tests it’s about 15-20% slower than my esata, but for Lightroom it has no discernible impact (I’m a photographer, video is a side thing). Not sure about Vegas though. I am using Vasst Gearshift proxies in Vegas, so I don’t think it’ll be an issue.
Thanks
