> I'm considering getting a BUSlink USB hard drive.  It seems like it would be too good to be true...does anyone have input on the product or the company?


   I'm thinking about getting one also, but I have heard of one
negative. Several computer models (Dell and a clone) are unable to boot
with the Buslink device connected (Buslink claims the computers need new
BIOS, users have latest BIOS flash made by that company). Unconnect it
and then reconnect it after it hits Windows and then it will work (USB
devices are hotswappable by design). Minor annoyance and probably one
that will be solved with new computer models.
