I am at the moment filling a HD of 1TB with classical music, (lossless) But this is a old HD from some time ago, and I need more space, so I opt for buying a HD with 2 TB of storage. I will pump over what I already have on the 2TB. I have a computer with the old USB standard, and I copy through Windows media player. Its for my personal use. Any advice about HD would be welcome, in terms of quality and speed. Is there a possibility to get the speed from the new USB connection from my old computer? Is there a better program as Windows to rip my CD quicker? All info about this would be welcome. The fact that I managed to get music on a HD is already quite a feat for me 8)
Cheers

You can't receive the benefit of usb 3.0 without both the pc and hd supporting it. I would just consider your new portable hd as future proof in case you ever upgrade any parts of your pc or the whole thing altogether.

Thanks David, thats a clear answer if it comes to this specific question.
For ripping I like dBpoweramp, it's fast and I know if it's accurate. What you're currently using should be fine, I just don't like itunes because it is so slow, and if it messes up it not tell you.
