I thought it was on PPRuNe that I noted this thread and I thought it was a month or so ago. Nice to be right for a change. Anyway, Santa turned up with a Hitachi Simple 1Tb HDD. Which was thoughtful of him. Setting it up I see that I'm invited to install 'Turbo USB 2.0' which: "will increase the speed of all your attached USB 2.0 devices. To access the install wizard (in English), click on TurboUSB.exe. If you want to change the default install location, click the Options button. Next click the check box to accept the license agreement. Then click Install." Er, will it? Can anyone say whether it's worth bothering with? I've spent some time on the usual searches (including here) and not seen much beyond the manufacturer/retailer guff.
