Can I use USB drive to record to instead of IDE or SATA

[zekousa 0]

Recently on my computer gv-250, primary IDE disk drive went bad and I was wondering since I already have 2 other USB drives if I can use those to record to, one is 320 and the other is 2TB. Just wondering if there is any difference and this would not work with USB drives.

 

Thanks.

I've used external drives with Vigil before, it's worked fine... just make sure the ports and the drive are both USB 2.0 or better; USB 1.1 won't be fast enough.
