I did end up getting a USB 2.0 drive and have actually gotten about 380 Mbps(MB/s? couldn't tell), but the it actually works really well. The only thing that I forgot to get was one that was powered by usb. The model that I ended up getting has to be powered externally, but most places that I go, I can plug into. ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
