Hi all, I've just ordered a Trekstor 160 GB external hard drive from www.dabs.com. I had an idea on how to use it, but I'd like your thoughts on this please. I'd like to run all my software, except Windows and associated programmes, on the drive. What will it be like in terms of stability, reliability, etc, because I hear that if you install and run software on an external hard drive, Windows won't have to use so much virtual memory and nor will it need to access the internal hard drive much, hence the perhaps increased stability and reliability. I'm not saying my Vista laptop isn't stable nor reliable; it's completely the opposite, but thought maybe I could increase the performance and decrease the hard drive thrashing by doing what I plan to do. All my data will be backed up to this drive as well. Thanks in advance for any comments regarding this.
