Word of warning about SD and iPods
Just a word of warning about SD and iPods.
If you are copying your backup to a new HD, don't plug in your iPod to charge it. If you do, then SD will freeze and give you quite the scare!! I am using a Seagate Barracuda 250G HD with a Byte CC Firewire enclosure and a 4th gen iPod. Thanks |

Not meant as a slight...
...against SD of course. I bought and fully trust SD to do its job properly.
This was more of a warning against plugging in your iPod while your external HD is busy doing its thang. |

This is a general issue for FireWire devices: when you plug/unplug a device, it can often cause surges and bus resets... and if that happens, the I/O system (as opposed to SD) will freeze.
SD, alas, is using I/O and will lock up until the calls it makes return... and that could take quite a lot of time. So -- yes, don't do that!

Even better was when I unplugged the iPod and SD just quit w/o warning! Ah well, a quick reboot and all was well again.
Perhaps some big lettering in the User's Guide would help others? |

I'll consider it, Ed... of course, it assumes people *read* the User's Guide.
