I'm fairly sure it does but I've not rebooted the box with the drive attached. I'll do so when I get a chance. I've almost half a mind to ship you my spare but its not in an enclosure and I really would rather have an extra in case one of the ones in the library decides to go south. I'll see if I can't pick up another one and a media cart this week so I can ship you one. Or we can wait a few weeks until the box is on net and I give you a sandbox account to play around in. -- | Matthew N.
