I finally got my hands on a USB floppy drive so I could test these! #Free to a good home: Nine Verbatim high density floppies, one Maxell high density floppy, one 3M high density floppy, and two Fujifilm high density floppies. 😀 💾 💾 💾 💾 #RetroComputing#Floppy#Disk#VintageComputer
I have an "interesting" problem today: I have a 4 disk USB 3.1 enclosure, the disks in it are crap (Toshiba N300) so it fails when pushing to much data. When I connect that enclosure to a 5 GBit USB3 port it works fine, if I connect that to a 10 GBit port it fails badly. So: How can I limit the 10 GBit port to negotiate only to 5 GBit to not overload the crappy HDDs? (It's not the cabling, it's the disks, I know because they fail on SATA the same way) #linux#usb#disk
