    Adding an external USB disk to S5

    Dear colleagues: did any of you have any luck in connecting a Linux-formatted external USB disk to Ion S5 and make it visible to the Torrent Server Virtual Machine (and hence to the Torrent Browser ?). Going on the traditional partition - format ext3 - mount system was not working for me and I heard it is not possible in a simple way. Thanks for any feedback ! Alessandro

    Hi Alessandro, have you checked with your local tech support for Ion?

    It takes a bit more work as the Torrent server is a virtual machine so by mounting it on your S5 doesn't automatically make it appear on the Torrent browser.

    I would say that a method exists but some degree of familiarity with Linux and virtual machines is required.

      Tank you Kevin - I actually fund the way. Important thing, it must be a NTFS formatted disk, otherwise the S5 will not read it, regardless of all your efforts !

      Regards,

        ext3 is the recommended format in their documentation.

          Well, format the disk in ext3, follow the instructions to mount it in the tsvm and .. good luck ! It's absolutely impossible and even the support does not know it .. Then, before throwing the disk against the wall, format it in NTFS, repeat the procedure and let me know how it goes .. They reprogrammed for some obscure reason the USB interface layer. As a consequence, though, writing throught the USB takes forever ...

            That's odd.
            I can do it with ext4 ext3 ntfs.

            I agree about the write speeds though it's 2.5.mb / s on some of my attempts ... still trying to understand where is the bottleneck ..

              Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
              by SEQadmin2



              CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

              Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

              Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
              by SEQadmin2


              Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

              The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
