Hi Folks
I'm thinking of getting a 1TB external hard drive to use as file storage. I plan to connect via USB. Does anyone have any experience of using one on a Linux system and can warn of any potential problems or pitfalls? I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid on a Dell Inspiron 6400.
Any external USB disk should be fine, it's usually just a 3.5" SATA/PATA disk with a controller on it anyways - my (now ancient) 80G USB HDD still works fine, just presents as USB mass storage - as you'd expect.
Cheers,
