I think you will be disappointed using a large drive with the Touch. First, I doubt that the Touch will power such a large drive. Second, the local tiny SBS in the Touch will take forever to catalog the contents and it will be sluggish in accessing them. Consider a computer or NAS. -- Kal Rubinson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kal Rubinson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40032 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83244 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
