Re: [OT] Hard disk recommendation for NSLU2

Hi all,

I am using a Western Digital MyBook 320 GB. One thing I like on it is the auto
spin down feature.

However, I can not get it to fully work without a USB hub with external power.
The disk is found by the system, but it is in write protected mode. I do not
understand why, as the HD has external power.
Since a cheep USB hub solved the issue, I have not looked deeper into the
problem.

cheers,
lars
