I recently bought an external HDD that hates my computer (won&#39;t work at all inside the computer, but plays nice from the enclosure). I want to know a couple of things:<br><br>1.) Is the USB spec fast enough to run any games or other applications from it?
<br>2.) Can anyone help me set up a UDEV rule so that this device gets a symbolic link in /dev as /dev/media-external or something? I can&#39;t get it to consistently have the same letter short of plugging it in in a certain order, so I&#39;d like to have a more dynamic solution. Right now I have /usr/media (directory I chose to mount the thing in--it holds non-OS related media, like HDD images, videos, music, games, etc) existing as a symbolic link to /media/media-external, and KDE&#39;s media manager working some kind of hoodoo-voodoo KDE magic to automount it there (KDE can only automount things in /media). So, again: can anyone help me set up a udev rule for that device? I did one for my iPod as according to the Gentoo wiki, but that was basically a cut and paste job (that rule included information like vendor, etc., which was obvious for the iPod, but not as obvious for this hard drive. I don&#39;t know where the Gentoo people pulled it from).
