    Hi all, I have a questions..

    I would like to buy a 1.5TB external HDD where I can keep my files, video etc..
    I have an Esata connection on my laptop.
    I have read somewhere on this forum long ago that a HDD over 1.0TB could cause issue with USB connection and I was wondering if something similiar could happen if I will connect it to the Esata port I have, or if I should know something in particular before I buy it..

    Someone can clear this doubts for me? :confused:
    Thanks in advance

    I have a 2TB esata connected to my laptop, which is older than your laptop, and it's working fine.
