</div>I believe that it is related to power management.<br>

</div>Any USB hard drive should work.... Jerry is currently working on it.<br>
The logic to detect and use the hard drive as available space for core<br>
services is not yet complete. Hopefully tomorrow.<br>

<br>
</div>Ideally this will be possible. Due to our limited resource we are<br>
focusing on the know and well understood platforms of XO-1.75, XO-4,<br>
XO-1.5, XO-1. for 0.3. Hopefully for 0.4 RPi will be an option. The<br>
best way to make hardware happen is to send a few (or a few buck) to<br>
volunteers to purchase and develop/test on your hardware of choice :)<br>
