Acropolite - have you installed the Snake OS? That does seem to speed it up a bit.

Rob, yes. It interfaces with your storage medium via 2 USB 2.0 outlets either or both of which can suppport a hub. But I would be inclined to suggest a powered hub. I have 2 external HD attached to mine and it plays withe them just fine. It is ethernet connected to my wireless router so any machine within my WAN can interface with it. I can dump to it from the obs, for example. The limitation is speed though, so I'd only dump to it after I'd processed the images and could go to bed and let it work on its own.
