I was contemplating picking up a 500GB USB 2 external hardrive
(7200rpm,16mb buffer), but before I did, I want to be sure there are no
common problems.
For a while, I used a Seagate 300Gb USB2 drive. There weren't any
functional problems with it - Slimserver didn't have a problems with
visibility etc. What I did notice, was that if the drive hadn't been
accessed for a while ( had presumably spun down), there was a
noticeable delay in loading playing the first track - 5 to 10 seconds
or so. You could also see this delay just by browsing to the disk in
Explorer - so it wasn't Slimserver. I don't know how they are sold now
- but there was no utility to control spin-down or wake-up times.
