>13.11.1. External Hard Disks</H2
|
|
><P
|
|
> There are external hard disk cases with different connectors available:
|
|
PCMCIA, USB and FireWire. Cases are available for 2.5" (laptop hard disks),
|
|
3.5" (desktop hard disks) and 5.25" (CD-Writer).
|
|
All of them work very well together with Linux. Especially I like
|
|
the cases for 2.5" hard disks, you may upgrade your current laptop
|
|
hard disk and use the old one to put it into the external box to
|
|
extend your hard disk space.
|
|
</P
|
|
><P
|
|
> Caveat: After wake up from suspend mode, the external hard drive
|
|
can't work. To cure this problem these remedies might help:
|
|
|
|
Disconnect the external drive and then plug it in again.
|
|
|
|
Or use an AC adapter to power the external drive. Though this seems
|
|
unconvenient in a suspend situation. But since the external drive
|
|
gets the power from the adapter, there is no disconnection from
|
|
power as will be if power is provided from USB.
|
|
</P
|
|
><P
|
|
> Caveat: Take care that the jumpers are set to Master. Almost
|
|
all external hard disk cases will not work when the
|
|
jumpers are set to Slave or Cable Select.
