Thanks for pointing out the low energy consumption of modern 2.5" HDs. Since others mentioned that SD is even less suitable for my purpose, I think I'll go that route. Can anybody recommend a specific model of an external 2.5" drive that works well with a slug under Debian (Lenny armel), preferably USB-powered so I don't need an extra power supply? I've read a lot on nslu2-linux.org about spindown issues with HDs connected to a slug. Since my slug is logging data continuously 24/7, I guess I shouldn't let the HD spin down at all. Is that assumption correct? Regards, Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
