I recently acquired a 9020 usff (ultra slime form factor) i7-4770 computer to replace my monster 9020 MT (mid tower). But, the usff has 1 x 2.5" and 1 Slimline dvd bay. I currently use a 3.5" 8 tb wd purple in my mid tower. Was thinking of removing the DVD and using the sata / power cords on the 3.5" (there could be a concern about power requirements, shall see). Then occured to me, I wonder if I can convert the 3.5" to a simple USB external. How would this affect recordings if done thru external USB?
