Hallo Jeff! > This is certainly a very troublesome device :) Absolutely sure. I won't recommend one to buy such a drive. I didn't wanted to buy that type of drive but due to a communication problem someone else bought me that one. As I didn't had to pay for it, there was no reason to call for an exchange. Especially as the drive does what I need .. ohps, did ... until I updated my Linux boxes to recent kernel versions. The drive itself isn't bad. It's fan less, silent and doesn't get hot even on lengthy copy sessions (Samsung 1TB 3.5inch SATA drive). Accessing the drive via USB gives speeds above 20 MByte per second, which is not so bad for USB 2.0 drives. The NAS feature is handy but awesome, however. -- Harald -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
