external hard drives 1

[shoalcreek]

I'm looking for an external hard drive or array. I would like to connect it to a Linux via Firewire or eSATA. It seems that some of these only want to work with Windows or Macs. What ones work with Linux? We are looking at 2 TB or 3 TB--the size doesn't leave us with many options.

There is a lot of stuff there.

I just use an external USB IDE case. They come for SATA also. You can put any size you like in them. I realize they're not as fast as firewire, but I'm not sure what you're using them for.
