I am resending because my last message came out as a big wad of unbroken text.
I don't know why. It looks normal in my outbox. I apologize in advance if the

Wish me luck!

Got a new one of these with the same model number as the previous versions, but
still different behavior this time.
When you connect it, it says this:

ugen1.2: at usbus1
umass0:

Well, the drive doesn't actually work on the other computer, so
I'm cc:'ing the list again. (Hans and I had done some offline work I didn't
want to spam the list with, since I wasn't sure if I was giving him the logs he

I contacted Western Digital and (as expected) didn't get anywhere. They claim
they don't support OSs other than Windows and OS X, so once you ask questions
beyond that, they are less than helpful.
I did make some progress in terms of potentially determining the cause of the

I'm trying to get off tape drives and move to USB drives for backups, however
circumstances are making this impossible.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a known 1TB external USB drive, powered

Has anyone actually seen one of these mythical beasts in the wild? I'm having
difficulty purchasing one.
