And I love encouragement, it helps me know my efforts are helping, and it encourages others to provide hardware reports as well. Thanks! BTW, I don't have the Seagate drive or the box handy, but the usb id is 0bc2:50a5 Seagate RSS LLC, and the iProduct is GoFlex Desk. ( lsusb -v -v as root ). Some Seagate GoFlex drives are only USB 2.0, buyer beware. This drive works with both USB2 and USB3, and comes with a special 3 foot USB3 miniB (drive end) to A (computer end) cable that works with both old and new standards. There are five extra pins on the USB3 A plug, not connected for USB2, adding two ultra high speed signalling channels for USB3. The USB3 standard permits up to 16 foot cables, and PCH Cables in Hillsboro (http://pchcables.com) has some 6 and 10 foot cables. Pat also has some 15 foot A extenders, but those sound dubious and error prone given the signal speeds involved.
