X-BeenThere: freebsd-usb@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: FreeBSD support for USB List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2007 16:45:41 -0000 Hi All, which of the supported IDE-to-USB (USB-to-IDE) bridge chipsets work best with FreeBSD 4.x and 6.x? Which external IDE-to-USB hard drive enclosures (caddies, cases) would you recommend? Does anyone here use an Icy Box IC-351U with FreeBSD? What chipset is it based on? I've been searching for information on a reliable supported chipset with decent performance in an enclosure that does not overheat easily, but sadly haven't found the answers I need, therefore any recommendation from personal experience will be welcome. Thank you. G. Mirov
