The other drives are in the safe. The only drives connected are the SSD for the OS and this one drive. Originally, I was going to use the external enclosure connected to my main rig to just test the drive. When I saw the slow data connection speed, I removed it from the enclosure and hooked it to the NAS box. I wanted to be sure it was the enclosure causing the slow data connection. It appears that enclosure is SATA 2 or something. Anyway, it was when I connected to the NAS box as a bare drive that I noticed the slow to respond message. It may have been there on my main rig as well but I just didn't notice it. I usually use tail -f to watch and hit the return key a few times to separate what I want to watch from the normal logging. It may have done the same on my main rig and I missed it. I sometimes forget to hit return a few times. At this point, I don't know if I should return this drive or keep it as is. I don't know if this is a problem with this drive or normal for some drives to be slow to respond at times. I don't recall ever seeing it before. Dale :-) :-)
