fs: 200GB USB 2 External Drive

[duffy]

Hi There,

I've got a Maxtor 5000DV 160GB external drive for sale. It has USB and Firewire connections. I no longer have the original box it came with, but it comes with the drive, power-cord, and USB cable. 7200 RPM.

$250 obo

Not sure if it updated - I didn't look closely. Thought it was a 200, it's actually a 160GB drive

so all u do is plug the drive into a usb port? imight be interested

Yup...it just shows up as another drive on the computer. With USB 2 it's damn quick too.

does it support firewire (seeing as firewire is faster)

USB 2.0 = 480MBPS
Firewire = 400MBPS

I'll throw in my USB 2.0 PCI card as well, considering I won't have a use for it once the drive is gone.
