hi, running sl 6.1, fully patched.
I have a sharkoon drivelink ide/sata usb adaptor (http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/content/drivelink-usb20) and when I plug in a 3TB wd drive I see this: Aug 26 11:13:39 host kernel: usb 2-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9 Aug 26 11:13:39 host kernel: usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=152d, idProduct=2338 Aug 26 11:13:39 host kernel: usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=5 Aug 26 11:13:39 host kernel: usb 2-1: Product: USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge Aug 26 11:13:39 host kernel: usb 2-1: Manufacturer: JMicron Aug 26 11:13:39 host kernel: usb 2-1: SerialNumber: 000001D91CA1 Aug 26 11:13:39 host kernel: usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Aug 26 11:13:39 host kernel: scsi12 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Aug 26 11:13:44 host kernel: scsi 12:0:0:0: Direct-Access WDC WD30 EZRX-00MMMB0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 Aug 26 11:13:44 host kernel: sd 12:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 Aug 26 11:13:44 host kernel: sd 12:0:0:0: [sdb] Very big device.

JM20337 Hi-Speed USB to SATA & PATA Combo Bridge in lsusb Is it possible to use 3TB in SL ? I routinely use external drives, although this is my first 3TB one and was not expecting problems to be honest (just spoilt, I guess, everything just works most of the time). I really look forward to your suggestions. Right now I just have a linux laptop to test with, so I will have to wait until monday to give a try in a Windows pc at work. -- Groeten, natxo
