YMMV but use it lose it, your call.
Curious. But it doesn't analyze the problem in depth.
Apparently, those are usb drives that go to sleep after some time idling,
powering off also the usb port. When it comes back, it does so as usb1,
which is of course very slow. Windows can cope, linux no.
But it doesn't explain why it doesn't cope.
I suppose someone could devise a hack to reset the bus - if windows does
it...? Someone else has posted a trick to configure the drive to never
sleep.
On another line... what is this:? "First Western Digital restricts sharing
of multimedia files" - does it means that somehow they manage to restrict
what type of files I save to a drive? How?
