[LAU] usb-2.0 harddisc

[Mark Knecht]

USB 2.0 is plenty fast for recording audio tracks. you should not have
a problem with that at all, assuming it's a good disk and the system's
USB implementation is done correctly.

Just mount the drive and run hdparm -tT to get an idea of the drive's
speed. I'm sure it will be fine.

Cheers,
Mark
