While I don't generally read MH articles, this one interested me a tad (though as usual it doesn't say much).
What gets me confused though is in the first paragraph:Quoting:. It seems that Seagate has opted to forgo compatibility for anyone other than Linux users Now, from my limited grasp of the English language (I was only born here and have a former English teacher for a mother...) This basically says that Seagate has made the drives compatible ONLY WITH Linux. From google: Quoting:Definitions of forgo on the Web: English issues aside, the issue has apparently been known for some time (like at least 4 months apparently). It relates to their USB drives. http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/1005886 |

You noticed that too techiem2? Funny isn't it. Workaround logic, that's what I would call it. sorry, had to edit it |

Heh, can you imagine someone releasing hardware that works ONLY on *nix out of the box?
No windows drivers available... |

@techien2: There's tons of that kind of hardware. Thing is that it's not the kind of hardware you can buy at Best Buy's or Fry's. It's custom, obscure and speciality hardware usually found in big enterprises, high tech labs and other weird and wonderful places. |
