[X4U] Wierd Freeze; External HD??

[net kat]

by 'peg' I assume you mean that I exceeded it's read/write capacity..

yeah, I think so, too.. I wasn't using Roxio or Popcorn...once it  
happened while I was asleep, but the first time, I was accessing web  
pages using Firefox, and I noticed a lot of hard drive chatter right  
when that freeze happened...


Hmm...guess the fix is to lighten up on disc activity? Odd, because I  
have breezed right through WAY heavier loads on the mighty mini, with  
no troubles at all!
