BTW, I am running eCS 1.2MR on the machine. As long as you are running the latest USB drivers and you prepare the drive with LVM or DFSee and format it with JFS, HPFS or if you have to use it with a Windoze box, FAT32 (DFSee can do this format under OS/2 - eCS the OS can't), then any drive should work. Go for a box with just one drive in it - not one with multiple drives as these can need to run software RAID and only supply Windoze drivers. As added options as well as USB 2.0 connectivity, you can often also get other connectivity such as firewire and e-SATA. Firewire is useful if you want to connect to an older Apple Mac and e-SATA is the fastest way to connect the drive to a desktop PC with an eSATA card (most are supported by the latest DANI drivers). Then you could look for a box that also has network connectivity, but you need to be very careful here as some use a weird proprietary protocol that is only supported by their code running on only Windows XP (often not even Vista) boxes, but if you find one that has embedded Linux and Samba support, some work with eComStations EVFS file system or the Netdrive Samba plug-in. Some of the more expensive versions of these boxes can run standalone downloading FTP or Bittorrent files overnight for you without your PC needing to be turned on (all through a web configured interface to the embedded linux in the box). So there's a few choices for you !! Cheers/2 Ed.
