You might look at this link-http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/USB_Compatibility Some of what is listed works, some do not. People making these drives are constantly coming out w new models which makes it difficult to develop a list of what works and keep it up to date. I would recommend you get your drive locally and check on exchange policy in case you have issues.
I used a Toshiba Canvio 2.0 1TB drive this way for about nine months. I was running SBS 7.5.3. It had approx 18K FLAC files on it at the time. Approx 1/2 of these had imbedded artwork max size 150 x 150. I switched to wifi because adding files was a pain in that each time I added files I disconnected the drive and then had to do a complete rescan. If you go the route you speak of leave the Touch powered on. Otherwise you are probably going to do a rescan. Make sure you have a 2nd drive as a backup for WHEN the primary one dies. Another link worth looking at-http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Squeezebox_Touch_as_a_Home_Music_Server The one Toby 10 mentioned is a very good source of info as well. -- dasmueller ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dasmueller's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38035 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93517 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
