Caveat emptor: I have an external Addonics hot-swap (warm-, actually) enclosure. While it connects fine to the USB on the chassis, I have never achieved transfer rates over ~3.6 bytes/sec (as measured by dump) on what is rated for 80 mbytes/sec. While there is no conclusive evidence, eliination of other likely suspects leaves poorly designed/implemented hardware as the prime candidate. Robert Huff
