Can’t go wrong for $16
I would like to know whether the additional softwares installed in a PC is to be done in a separate partition (like D:, E:, etc.) other than the windows partition (eg. C:Program Files) for better performance, or should it be installed in ‘C:Program Files’ itself.

The external cases are bout $45.00 (trademe New Zealand) but if you really shop around you can get them (from trademe) for $16.00. I purchased my case from trademe, New Zealand. If anyone got a cheaper place for us to visit, a web address would be great. cheers.
For sure it has helped us who didn’t know and who have not got the money to buy external hard drives. For one, they are way out of my reach, for now! Cheers… and thanks for this post. muchly appreciated. Cheers.
