Yes, I saw that.  Anxious why?  Do you have critical data on

My suggestion was to use a "Linux system with USB support."
I meant one with USB support already loaded and running.

Try using vfat type filesystem here, and then try to mount it.
That assumes that the device is already formatted.
I guess you could just try formatting it with whatever filesystem
type you want to use.

Yes, it claims to be Class storage, Subclass SCSI, Protocol Bulk-only,
so the usb-storage driver should work with it.
That is, you shouldn't need a special or proprietary driver for it.
