I have four partitions on a USB drive, including ntfs, fat32, and

It belongs to someone else, let's say User. He is using Squeeze with TDE, I
think 3.5.12.
(tl;dr - read next paragraph, then skip to last paragraph!)
The Verbatim belongs to User, and needs to function on his box.

Okay... since this is not something I can go to the local office supply
store (around here its either that or mail order) and pick up and look
at it and see that tab A goes in slot B (i.e. how things physically
fit/work together)... how exactly would I set this up, and what would I
need?
to upgrade all the drives to 2TB ones - but I have no where to
store that much data in the mean while. As such, I started looking at
getting a 4-bay external drive enclosure with an eSATA card for the
Debian box, with the hopes of creating a RAID5 + LVM setup using those
drives and backing the data up
