hi
i have anew laptop and i bought a 500gb portable hard drive so i could put stuff on there to keep my laptop fast. but i want to buy gta ivob pc, but i hear you need to install it (something like 19.gb) can this be installed onto the portable hard drive to keep my laptop fast or does it have to be installed onto my laptop directly?


cheers.

Yeah, sure. If your portable drive is SSD, it can even improve load times. If it's not, it's probably gonna be a bit slower.

I am planning on buying the Western Digital My Passport Essential 500GB Portable Hard Drive, but am confused about somethings. I want to know if you can just plug it in and begin to drag and drop stuff from my laptop on to this external hard drive. I have seen that you can, but some people say you have to do something about WD Smartware. Any ideas?

Answer
I have wd also. Just plug it in and begin to drag and drop. There's nothing else to do.

Will a portable hard drive play music on aftermarket car stereos with usb port?

Daniel

I have a 500gb portable hard drive, does it work if I plug it into a stereo with a usb port? Will it play the music?

The stereo I have now only has an aux input so I can't try it out myself, has anyone else tried?

Answer
I must say, sadly the hard drive wont work, since the stereo's usb is not as highly powered as a computer usb port. But a large memory flash drive (30 gb) would work.
