Would a 40 MB take more than a 20 MB drive???? (All of these are referring to an internal drive) Would I worry about the drive taking too much power that the computer would not function properly?? I am thinking of a drive and I am having trouble figuring out the advantage that the external has over the internal. I know that the external is very portable and has its (usually) own power source. What would be an advantage for internals??? Thanks in advance! Joe [ I use my girlfriend's account because it is there! ]
