The real solution is somebody finding an usb box having a chipset wit complete feature set.
too bad :-(
It is indeed. Another feature I sorely miss is that you can't run smart tests on them; we could use usb/esata combo boxes, and plug them into a machine with esata for testing. If you do have eSATA that's certainly much better than usb for this purpose of external drives. By the way, there is a box by seagate, I forgot the model (one of those multimedia boxes, I think), that does go to sleep after some time, and it also resets or un-power or whatever the usb connector. So far, so good. The snag is that when it awakes, if the host is linux, the bus awakes as version 1, ie, at 12 mbps. Windows is capable of awakening it to version 2, 480mbps. A link to this was posted a month ago, but I can't find the source. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
