[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 524291, member: 33722"] I've been having weird access issues with my external Firewire 750GB HDD. Files seem to be VERY slowly copied about half the time. I have had similar slowdown issues when I tried to use Disk Utility to check permissions and eventually aborted the process, which itself took over an hour to abort. Also, after the Leopard upgrade it takes forever for my MacBook to show the external HDD's contents in finder. The MB accesses the drive over an Airport Extreme network connection which is hosted/shared by my Mini which is also running 10.5. The external HDD is dual interface with Firewire 400 and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connection ports and now that I have started connecting it via USB it runs flawlessly. Weird... [/QUOTE]
