Re: External USB Drives

[Paolo Galtieri <pgaltieri@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Seagate 1.5Tb drive and it works just fine with Linux.  I use it to back up my Windows 7 system (when I boot up in Windows 7) and my Linux when I boot up in Linux (Fedora 12).

Hi All,

I'd like to buy a 1.5Tb (or so) external USB disc drive to use for backup
from my main file server.  Most of the ones I see around seem to say that
they want Wondiws something - is that necessary or meaningful?  Should I
just be able to plug it in and use it?  Do I need to partition and format
it, or will it just work?
