Anybody else use one of these fuity things?

Ive got this external enclosure, no brand name on it, just says ME-320 Series. Inside of it, ive got a maxtor 160gig ata133, 5400RPM drive. When i copy alot of stuff to that drive, Xp says "Delayed Write Failed" then something about data being lost, and blah blah blah..


I did a google search on the error message, and at least 1 other person is having/had the same issue. Im thinkin that a harddrive is just a little too much overhead for usb1.1, and maybe i should pick up a usb2 card.

Try disabling write caching from the device manager. I believe XP has it enabled by default for removable drives.
