        I've got four recovery options here that I use,  eSATA, powered
        eSATA card, USB3 dock, and of course if all else fails, a spare
        machine to plug a drive in.

        I only mentioned the USB bridge behaviour as a "pitfall" I
        encountered in the past when testing the --direct facility. 

        I'm sure I double checked my setup before when I mentioned the
        slowdowns in the past, and using the --direct option, but I'll
        go double check everything again.

Regards, Paul.
