Well if you really aren't sure then don't buy it, I find it very hard to believe you can't get an NTFS drive to work under Linux that was working under windows, not you personally but I mean in general, if it works in Windows it should work in Linux its just a case of finding out how to make it work. I would start by formatting it as NTFS in Linux then using it in Windows and not the other way around, I have never had a problem this way round?
You're missing the point. Linux doesn't recognise it at all. I can't format a drive if the system can't see it.
Unlike my older USB external drive that creates a device /dev/sdd1 on the desktop which I can then mount.
