Hello, =20 =20 I have been searching quite a bit, but found nothing useful. =20 I want to install FreeBSD onto an USB Flash Module from Transcend. The links below are the product page and datasheet in PDF. It says it should be compatible with OS that supports USB standard. =20 Can anyone confirm that this would actually work? =20 http://www.transcend.nl/Products/ModDetail.asp?LangNo=3D0 <http://www.transcend.nl/Products/ModDetail.asp?LangNo=3D0&ModNo=3D122>; &ModNo=3D122 http://www.transcend.nl/support/dlcenter/datasheet/TS512M~4GUFM-V_H0409. pdf =20 I am also wondering if it is a good approach to use USB dongles, instead of real Solid State devices on ATA. I see a lot of USB problems in the Mailing list Archives (see link below as example). I don't understand all of that, and I know there are many USB devices which can cause these issues. My hardware supplier recommends the USB dongles, because they are cheaper and easier to install (just plug it in an 10-pin USB port on the motherboard). =20 http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-usb/2007-January/002939.h tml =20 Thanks for your time! =20 =20 Alwin Roosen =20
