So the question is how many USB peripherals have you got connected?
I just thought id ask because i just noticed i have quite a bit of them adding to th cable spaghetti behind the computer..

I have eight that are connected all the time, two of these are on a additional bracket in a PCI slot.

Edit: Ok since everyone else seems to list specifically what they have connected ill do it too..

printer, Canon iP4000
scanner, Canon CanoScan 4200F
mouse, Logitech MX518
keyboard, Microsoft Wireless Comfort Edition
USB HDD, Lacie 250Gb design by F.A. Porsche(Seagate ST3250832A inside apparently)
memory-card reader, Media Lounge 23 in 1
bluetooth dongle, Epox
USB cable to my phone, Sony Ericsson k750i

I havent even bothered installing the front ports, simply because my case came with separate connectors for each fooking wire...

I'm the none

Actually have a camera, webcam, scanner, phone charger, 2*phone data, 2.5" HDD, pen drive that all plug in if essential. But I don't trust USB:

- swapped my mouse back to PS/2 using an adapter (as on USB port it wasn't waking up the OS on one of the mobos I've had)
- swapped the printer to direct LAN connect
- swapped the ADSL to a LAN/router/modem

The last straw: a downloaded DVD ISO failled md5sum when copied to Linux from 2.5" hdd via USB. Also failed checksum when I copied the same file into Windows from the 2.5" via USB (different checksum though!) Also gave the wrong checksum when I checksummed the file directly on the 2.5" HDD via USB, whether from Linux or Windows. But gave no error when I mounted the 2.5" onto an IDE cable.

Just a mouse and gamepad.

My printer's parrallel.
My keyboard's PS2.
My soundcard's onboard.
My joystick's a gameport one.
My 2 hard drives and DVD drive are internal(IDE).

I'm sooooo pathetically obsollete.

No one nearby sells them here ;P which one do u have? any idwa what HDD it uses?

nici · Post by **nici** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 7:42 am

I edited the original post with more details, but anyway according to HDtach its a 250Gb Seagate ST3250832A. Its the Design by F.A. Porsche line. Lacie claimes maximum sustained data transfer as 34Mb/s and it seems to be correct

datasheet

Its not quiet enough to have on 24/7 but not disturbingly loud either, its mostly a hum and some vibration wich the rubber feet isolate from the table pretty well. The aluminium enclosure gets warm so it seems the heat is transferred pretty well from the hdd.

acaurora · Post by **acaurora** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 7:50 am

OH. So it's a 3.5" drive then. See all mine are 2.5's.
