I need help with buying an external HD. I bought an Iomega eGo external 160 GB USB hard drive but it is not recognized by my os 11.0 linux only box.
A USB external drive should just open in Konqeror like a usb key. I have two and that is how they both work.
I thought it would work like my USB flash drives.
Yes. That is correct.
Searching the web I found nothing about drivers but on Hardware4Linux I found that all Western Digital cards work on linux.
There should be no driver needed. Is the drive ATA/SATA?
TigerDirect has a Western Digital Firewire/USB2.0 combo about the same size.
Does anyone have a recommendation on this or any other external HD?
