If I reboot with the hard drives plugged in, it wont boot to the rootfs, but the light will be green. I have a USB Flash drive with the rootfs plugged into the top back USB port, and two 1TB hard drives which store my info and are synced in the two usb ports below.The second option was to just use this other adapter with the drive that's already mounted since I can plug the sate straight to it and the other end to the internal usb port.
I figured I could just mount one inside somewhere, but that was a bit bulky and heavy. I'm not sure if this matters, but I always leave the wi-fi dongle in the lower USB port and use the upper one for the external USB What we are going to set up is a mount point - a way to always map this directory to the USB drive.
