Greetings Everybody,

I recently found a new work-around that works for my system. I stumbled on this by accident. I ran out of USB ports on my desktop box, and purchased a CyberPower (Powered USB Hub) off Buy.com.

I then thought, I should try the powered USB drive that was giving me a headache under Intrepid and Jaunty. Low and Behold, I was able to now transfer 27 GB's with out a hiccup at USB 2.0 speeds. I was hitting about 20+ MB/s write.

Here is the model number of the hub:
CP-H720P

I'm thinking its a cheap and easy solution while waiting for a bug fix in the kernel.

Good Luck and YMMV
