    even 1.5gb/s is overkill.

    What are you asking? What notebook drive to put???
    If that is your question: if the drive is slow, there is no need for 3.0gbps! but really, is there any notebook drive which can run at 3 gbps? i dont think..

    if you are asking about what external drive, same answer: there is no need for 3gb/s if the hard drive cannot run at that speed... at least thats what i think! :)
