Sorry, but this is basic chinese to me: I have lot of fiction film footage and need and external drive for my Imag G5. And as after production I run out off money the only option I found in Bhphoto is this one:

Iomega 250GB Silver Desktop Hi-Speed USB 2.0 External Hard Drive - 7200rpm From Bhphoto

usd 119

But no indications of ATA or SATA, etc...And I just want to know if I can´t make it with it, if it´s not gonna get hot and explode after a week or more of exporting and stuff

thanks in advance

I'm sure it will be ATA....and unlikely to explode.

There's a range of external hard drives enclosure available that you can install your own drive into, and some of them have fans if you are concerned about heat. A metal enclosure will be better than a plastic one for heat also.

Check out newegg.com or similar.

What do you mean it is basic Chinese? What does that have to do with external hard drives?

oh, sorry, it´s an spanish expresión, but I guess it doesn´t works in english, it means that I don´t understand much or anything about technical hard drive stuff

So it´s ok if I go with it?
