Hi -
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with an Iomeg Rev drive.
Apparently everything works fine. I can mount, read and write to the drive. The problem is when I write a large volume of data to the drive, the drive slows to a crawl (and so does the computer for that matter, but CPU usage is more or less 0). The system load jumps and it takes several hours before the data is completely written to the drive and I can unmount it. It might be important to note that the backup application or whatever I'm using finishes a long time before the buffer is written to disk. I probably should be sending iostat output, but I needed to work on my computer today and it was last night that I last encountered this issue. This problem really makes the Rev drive unusable.
So, I'm not sure that this is an Rev issue or USB 2 issue, but I've only encountered this problem Rev drive.
