MYSTIC... I just bought mine last week. This machine is 250 GB and my Bride's is 160.. Through the router she backs up on mine; I back up on hers. But I have been afraid that something could come in on either...web page with script writing, kind of thing... and since the two machines are mapped together, my drive appears on hers as a Network Drive and her's on my machine as a Network drive, and some Malware could jump between happily. So I bought the 500GB drive. It just shows up as a new, hard drive...when plugged in. Very fast writing... I had tried a cheaper one some time back, lousy. I can plug the External into my daughter's lap-top... or ANY machine and it works fine. I currently have 87GB on it... and, unplugged.. it IS safe!
Sorry to detract from the theme of the thread, but it really sounds like you might gain from thinking about it. If I understand your posting, I have never even HEARD of such a problem. Same Named files or folders over-write, as usual, so it pays to watch your naming, etc...
Apologies again, to The Thread... but I guess if maybe this talks you into SH4 sooner, it WAS applicable ??? [grin]
