Do all these USB 2.0 disk drives "just work" under linux,
or are there the typical variations in compatibility that
seem to plague everything?
Any particular model USB 2.0 external drive with exceptional
linux support out there? Good experiences to report?
Thanks for any info.
just plug it in ... it will work fine
Just to let you know that this isn't always the case:

Never tracked down what was going wrong and I got rid of the drive so
can't test it with the latest kernels, but some drives certainly have
problems (I'm sure most are OK though).
