It works amazingly well. I was tired of fighting this problem and this is an amazing solution -- I can keep every ISO I ever need on a single drive. http://www.zalman.com/eng/product/Product_Read.asp?idx=431 http://www.zalman.com/eng/product/Product_Read.asp?idx=459 http://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/ve200 Hope that helps someone....
