I think you'l find this post useful, as it describes what I did to use my own USB disk on FreeBSD: http://keramida.serverhive.com/weblog/archives/2004-10-16/using-a-usb-20-flash-mini-disk-on-freebsd Then this one too, to enable USB 2.X support (and greater transfer speeds, as a result): http://keramida.serverhive.com/weblog/archives/2005-06-23/usb-2x-support-in-freebsd Have fun, Giorgos
