And I (and clearly others) seriously think the Touch should not NEED to scan the whole damn volume of any drive that is connected to it, which is the whole point of the thread that some people have been only to desperate to divert attention away from, hence inane suggestions like "Buy a quieter PC" or "use a PC in another room" or "hard drives are cheap," "leave it switched on 24/7 and never disconnect it, because switching the drive off reduces its lifespan anyway, and I am too arrogant to admit that non-optional total-drive scans are stupid." Simples! ;) Thanks for your invaluable contributions to the thread, Senior-member-Phil, your wisdom and humility are priceless. /sarc :D -- Dave1972 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dave1972's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44446 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85984 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
