[QUOTE="Ember1205, post: 1713931, member: 374272"] Commonly, a portable drive will be slower on data transfer rates as the limiting factor is in the enclosure and electronics that connect the drive to the machine. Check the data transfer rate of the drive itself, then check to see what the max transfer rate is of the portable version based on the USB connectivity. Convenience typically has a cost associated with it. [/QUOTE]
