[QUOTE="Tesla, post: 786733, member: 88010"] Yes, that is the only thing different (that comes to mind) ... the 512 vs 4096. Thing is, I've copied over 2tb of files over to that drive without the slightest problem and benchs are below. It says on the box and website it works with XP-32. Yes, it's my understanding that the USB interface takes care of all the translations (and as you can see by the benches, does a good job). I bought it because it's big (not 7200-like fast). I don't have MePo on a Win-7(64) machine right now (nor have I ever tried it) but it's not impossible if it comes to that. Installed ATTO DiskBench32 v2.46 Using mostly defaults - 4.0 to 8192 KB, 256mb, Direct IO, Overlapped IO, Queue Depth 4. - - Recorded 1024 bars on each below for compare C: W:115K R:125K (Internal 7200rpm SATA2-300) G: W:80K R:85K (External 7200rpm eSATA-150) M: W:24K R:23K (External WD 500mb on USB2) <-- they work fine here also N: W:76K R:103K (External WD-3tb on USB-3) N: W:25K R:23K (External WD-3tb on USB2 ... this one test only ... drive is normally on USB-3) C, D, E, F, G and even USB2 M: drive work fine.
