External Drive Question

[WilliamP]

I have just purchased an external enclosure that can run a SATA drive. I have a 128gb SSD that I plan to use in it. The enclosure can run USB 3 . I bought a PCI-E Express USB 3 card to connect it to my desk top. Will any of this cause a problem with Image for Windows?

As you have already bought the kit, why not just try it out and live a
little?

I certainly didn't intend to disturb your herb consumption or your reverie. I just wanted to know if a PCI-E card can be used to create and then re-install a back up image?

Nope, should work fine.

IF you ever decide to use say IFD/IFL/BiBM, be sure that external drive
is powered up BEFORE you boot into any of those tools, or they might
not see it otherwise.
