usb/120321: [hang] System hangs when transferring data to WD MyBook USB HDD

Wed Feb 6 13:20:15 PST 2008

Regarding this problem...

I really need to get my backups going again and the server hanging every 
night because of backup is not good at all. Hence my question - is it 
likely that the problem is caused by something particular to this 
brand/model of drive, which FreeBSD 6.3 "just doesn't like"?

If so, what specific external USB HDDs have people had good luck with, so 
that if I buy a replacement drive I won't end up in the same mess again?
