I have heard credible reports that the Linux kernels are not reliable
for USB. Poor implementations that lock up. Recent kernels are
better, but they haven't fixed the underlying issue of clueless
USB device driver programmers.
You mileage may vary.

Just wondering if any of you rotorheads have any experience with the WD
MyBook external hard drive.
They seem to get cheaper every day and I've been thinking how great it
would be to have a nice 250gig or so external HD to back up to.
My experience with external drive enclosures has been that if they don't
have cooling fans, they overheat. But most of the new external
enclosures don't seem to have cooling fans anymore.
Any thoughts/advice, o ye maestros?
Thanx a meg,
