Dear all,
I plan to get myself an external USB hard disk, mainly for storing digital photos, scanned stuff etc. and for backing up the internal hard disk of my notebook.
Surfing around a little, I found this offer of Western Digital USB hard disks:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=46695&doy=7m11
The 320G offer seems quite reasonable to me.
Do any of you have any recommendations / warnings / experience with this, or similar USB hard disks? Personally, I don't expect any difficult issues, I'd expect the HD to appear as an SCSI device (/dev/sda or whatever), just as a USB flash stick... is that right, or am I naive?
Best regards & thanks in advance, Jan
