Trust me - this is Psyche related. :-) I have always used internal HD's but it looks like I need to use an external one now. I presume that a hard disk advertised as "external USB" would plug into a USB port and work like any other hard disk. And I also presume that RH8.0 would have no trouble using such a critter. Are those presumptions correct? And, if so, can anyone pass on any experiences with different kinds (the good, the bad, and the ugly).
