There's no need for a 300w pc to run SBS. For the cost of the drives you've gone through you could have bought or built a dedicated music server that draws only 25-35w.
USB disks with their own power aren't rare at all. Just look for drives that are external but _not_ portable. I believe all of the 3.5 inch drives have their own power source. A search at newegg.com turned up about 60 different external 3.5" USB drives with capacity of 2TB, including this one: TOSHIBA 2TB USB 2.0 / eSATA Black External Hard Drive PH3200U-1EXB -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83960 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
