But if you protect your investments like a regular person, this shouldnt be an issue. Link to comment

Invest in a SATA cable (if your case/MOBO has one for external use). Also, I was just wondering, could you technically boot from an external disc drive if you formatted it to NTFS instead of FAT32? It would still have to be connected to one of the SATA ports on the mobo though right? Link to comment
