I have one of those, too. we use it for "offline" storage, and/or for keeping stuff we want to share amongst the family. what I'm looking at here is replacing an old RAID-1 backup box that's becoming increasingly troublesome, has never worked at usb-3, and its esata connection tends to fail about every other day, so now I'm stuck at usb-2 speeds. Hence the question about usb 3.1 and UASP. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
