If you really intend to use an external drive larger than 1 TB you should definitely plan to use at least gigabit ethernet or eSATA. Anything else doesn't make much sense with storage of that size. Yeah; that was the original plan until I failed to find an eSATA card

The last one I bought was supposed to be 48bit LBA throughout, but the disk still shows up as the wrong size in the cards internal bios (1.8TB). Using USB frightens me considerably since I have (historically) had a great deal of trouble getting large external USB drived to function reliably under linux. And, as you say, they are slooow. If I go eSATA, it omes back to the hardware question: anyone know of a hardware/software combo that thy know can cope with a single 4TB eSATA drive? Also, maybe this is no longer a SuSE uestion. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
