Thanks for the tip! However, make sure to read the regulators spec. before using it in critical applications. It probably doesn't cut power when voltage drops too low, this will most likely crash the disk and may corrupt your file system etc.. My guess is that it only regulates downwards, it looks t...

Interesting ideas! The specs are 12V +/- 10% (that is 10,9 - 13,2V), since the 12V power goes directly to the disk. Thus, you need to regulate the voltage somehow, since car batteries can have voltages over 14V if I'm correct? Bubbas electronics will work fine between 8-15V, so the disk is limiting....

Hi Clive, I can only agree to the previous posts (thanks msx and spoodie for the nice words about our product). It's of course hard to say anything about the speed since it is up to each user, but most users find it acceptable, and if you ask me, it really is enough for those services. Regarding wal...

Ok, thanks for the information bubbalibre. All pieces of information is helpful. We'll work on gett ing a fix done.

This is probably a known issue with large torrents. If I'm not mistaken, the software miscalculates the size of large files, making the progress indicator show the wrong result. We are working on a fix for this, but until then, just let the torrent download until it shows "complete". It wi...

Hi,

I fully understand your question. However it's at least 8 months, but more likely something like a year before release of the follow-up. We'll let people know when we come closer.

Do you mean that you have supplied your external IP as SMTP server in your Thunderbird client on a machine outside your home local network (where your Bubba is)? As Björn correctly points out on the post above that's a bad idea for security reasons. It should work however, as long as your router for...

Nice!
Just to check, would you mind if I snatch this idea? We are right now working on a collection of articles (how-to's) and this would make a great contribution.

Thanks,

Do you mean spin-down during idle operation, or spin-down after power-down? Bubba doesn't spin down it's disk during idle operation. Many of the server features accesses the disk regularly, wich would cause the disk to spin-up very often if spin-down was implemented. This would shorten the disk's li...

Very nice, thanks!

Hi johan, We'll try to help you out here. In your Thunderbird setup, what is set as SMTP server? Your own (home) external IP, pointing to your bubba server? If that's the case, is it possible that your firewall (I suppose you have a hardware router/firewall) blocks inbound SMTP packets? Have you for...

Yes, that's probably the explanation, that the dns request from your PC for some reason doesn't go through. I can't however connect this to the anonymous FTP setting in any way, but still, it would be great to be able to reproduce this. Please try, and let us know the result. And, thanks for pointin...

Ok. That is very strange, especially since I can't reproduce it here. If you try one more time, does it reappear?

Hi Filip,

That's strange, I can't reproduce that phenomenon here. And, when Bubba is unreachable, how do you do to to enable the 'anonymous FTP access' again?

Let me know those details, I'll try to help you out.

There's actually more to it, it's a common misunderstanding that USB 2.0 automatically means 480 Mbps. USB 2.0 specifies and allows all three USB speeds: Low speed: 1.5 Mbps Full speed: 12 Mbps High speed: 480 Mbps Bubba supports USB 2.0 Full speed, it doesn't support high speed due to hardware limi...
