I ran a Toshiba Canvio 2.0 drive the way you speak of for about 6 months w 20K FLAC files. It is not externally powered but it worked. I then bought a router and set up a simple network w the drive now attached to the PC. Much nicer. PC on 2nd floor w 1 Touch on the main floor and 1 Touch in the basement. -- dasmueller ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dasmueller's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38035 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93845 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
