USB 2.0 isn't any faster than any modern hard drive would be. There's no need to reinstall to move it though. Just create a swap partition on the drive and edit /etc/fstab appropriately. Also, on a modern machine, you really shouldn't be swapping much anyways. You might consider adding more RAM. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel
