The good news:
I've had good luck with a Western Digital 200G drive that has both
USB2.0 and IEEE1394 connections. I think it's a model WDXC2000B006.
I've used it with kernels 2.4.20 through 2.4.22, I think. I'm using
LVM and ext3 on it, and have done things like build software on it
and used it to store large files (such as 25G HDTV transport streams).
The bad news:
I've only used the IEEE1394 connection to the drive, so I don't know
if the USB2.0 hookup works as well. I briefly had a Belkin USB2/1394
card (F5U508, I think), but it was causing frequent spontaneous hard
resets so I replaced it with a cheap 1394-only card.
So, the drive seems to work fine with 1394, and I've hooked it up to
three different Linux machines that way with good results. It also has
a USB2.0 port, but I haven't tested it.
