[SLUG] External/Portable Hard Drive

[Sean Jackson]

Hi,   I am looked for a portable storage option (around 60G – 80G), that is compatible with Linux for under $1000, smaller the physical size the better. This will only be used for backups of a SCSI drive. I have looked at external USB hard drives and figure that is probably my best option given the above. My only concern it  that most websites only talk about Windows compatibility but I am 99% sure Linux would work. The drives I am looking at are the Maxtor 3000LE and a Lacie d2-usb drive or the Lacie Pocket drive (60G). Has anyone got these units to work under Linux RedHat 8.0?. Help appreciated. Thanks.   Sean
