Other users on this thread are using NAS units, which are network connected, hence the relevance. In your case, it's probably an old, inefficient USB implementation on your motherboard. It's also probably USB 1 which is horribly slow at the best of times.

More evidence that USB is causing the problem. Old USB implementations often take huge amounts of CPU. If you can't make the disc local, buy a $10 USB2 card and that will help. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33041 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
