When I look, I see a file /dev/da0, but I can't do anything with it. I've tried mount's and newfs and Fdisk, nothing works. Yes, their is an entry in the /dev directory, but no it doesn't do me a lot of good.
Now, I am willing to do USB 2.0 transfers. I'm willing to lose the 3.0 support. I got this drive so I could back my machine up, but so far it's doing a perfectly fine imitation of a boat anchor. If I have to, I'll put up 9.x on another machine and simply do the transfers across a TCP/IP wire. A little slower but a day or so isn't critical. Now my questions: a) Am I supposed to be able to get USB 2.0 support by simply using a conventional cable? Because so far I'm getting nothing. b) Does 9.0 have USB 3.0 support. The device I am trying to use is a WD "My Essential Drive."
