Re: [BackupPC-users] Western Digital Mybook drives

you would get faster performance if you formatted the drive ext3 and then installed the ext3 filesystem driver for windows. fuse is is pretty slow and is terrible with I/O speed while ext3 is descent. the ext3 driver for windows is a native filesystem pluggin so it runs just like ntfs(though a bit less optimized).

I haven't used the Studio model, but I use the USB 2 interface with CentOS
5 (an RHEL 5 re-spin). To allow cross-OS compatibility and large file
support, I convert them to NTFS and mount them using the NTFS-3G FUSE
filesystem.
