RE: Inferior sound from USB external drive?

I had an older XP machine with PCI slots and wanted to expand the number of internal hard drives. I got a new SATA to PCI card, but it turned out it was incompatible with my motherboard, due to different versions of PCI. Also, on older machines there may be problems with the BIOS ability to handle large drives. This is definitely the case if you try to go beyond 2 TB drives. My machine was a dead-end, no way to add more drives without a new controller and no way to add bigger drives without a new controller and no suitable controller that would work with the machine.

Hopefully, your machine isn't that ancient, but something to keep in mind. Good luck!
