NotesThis wiki shows you how to manually mount a USB Drive enclosure containing a Hard Disk. The term "mount" is the Linux term for adding a data device to a system so that its contents are navigatable.

This gives precious RAM back to processes that can actually use it, and frees up CPU power.Unfurl
