    Well I just wan to know if you guys are having the same issues that I have.


    I have an external WD 250 HD and every time I connect it to my m11x it takes forever to show me the files inside and If I want to browse to a certain folder It won't go.
    This is happening since a couple of days. Sometimes it works but mostly of the time I have this issue.
    I have a 4GB memory stick and works with no problems.The 250 external hard drive is the one that is giving troubles.
    I used this hard drive with others computers and it works fine.
    Are you guys having this issue? Any ideas>??

    Thank you ,

    sounds like your hard drive may be failing. Try connecting it to a different computer and see what it does.

    Something worth trying would be to copy all the files off of it, wipe it and then put the files back. See if that helps the speed at all.
