An external “jump” drive is a drive that can be attached to a USB port, allowing for fast and simple access to the data therein. Converting your existing internal hard drive into an external drive is possible with a connector that will allow you to attach your internal IDE drive to an external USB port. The “operation” will take around 10 to 15 minutes, after which you will be free to enjoy your new drive. Plug the IDE end of the IDE to USB connector into the “Data” port on the back of the internal drive. Plug the USB end into any USB port on the computer. Connect the power cable to the “Power” port on the drive. Plug the power cord into any wall socket.
