Wasn't that my suggestion if one doesn't want to use the less then 9 Watts by leaving it running, "one might as well Eject the USB Drive and unplug the Touch also"? I guess from where I sit the 9 Watts is basically nothing in the grand scheme of things and it is my opinion that powering down and powering up (and the scanning that goes along with that) is harder on the drive then just leaving it running 24/7 in a stable state. Just my opinion YMMV. The part I was talking about being unhappy with is how TinySC deals with USB Drives that like to sleep, spin down, or are external powered and power is removed and/or reapplied. That's all I was saying. Sorry if that wasn't clear. I have no problem with ejecting the USb HD and powering off every time in general. Its just that I use my Touch so much, I feel its unnecessary wear and tear on the USB HD. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80902 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
