With much interest I read the opening post. For over half a year I've been doubting if I should buy a SB-Touch or not. The setup I want is the same like Jeans: a Touch fed by an external USB-disk. I don't like the thought of energyconsuming NAS under my desk, even my babygirl has 'green'lightbulbs in her bedlighting. The only device that may make my electric meter go rinkle is my beautifull vacuum tube amplifier :) So I was thinking to buy a USB-powered WD 160Gb Elements and a SBTouch and hook it all together. My question to you is: is it the best choice? In the posts you wrote I sometimes read some cynism and it makes me wonder if I'm doing the right thing. I do know a thing or two about computers and Linux etc, so a bumpy road won't make it impossible for me to get to my destination. But if the SBTouch turns out to be a 10k miles journey, I might get an alternative. -- MDB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MDB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43900 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82070 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
