[QUOTE="Michael44, post: 646312, member: 334763"] Hi Justin, Many thanks for your reply re the S4400 'hunting' problem with Seagate 500GB external usb HDD. I will try to get to the site you have recommended. So far I have tried a 500GB 'boxed' Seagate drive, a 500GB 'boxed' Maxtor drive and a separate 500GB Western Digital raw drive in a universal external usb 'box'. All show the same problem. I now don't know whether the problem is related to auto sleep modes, whether the FS4400 will not work with SATA drives or whether it is a drive size issue. I am just about to try it with a 160GB ATA/IDE drive in the external USB enclosure. Fortec Star Tech Support are very good at bouncing a reply back telling you are they 'looking into the problem' and asking for serial No's, software revisions etc but that then seems to be the extent of their support. Not good I'm afraid, Thanks again'O'-red [/QUOTE]
