I'm thinking of purchasing a "Conceptronic External USB 2.0 Hard Disk
Box 3.5 (CHD3U)", together with a IDE hd, to use mostly for backups.
Anyone has any experience with this? The main question is: Should I
worry about drivers?
Every USB (2.0) disk/stick is covered by the USB mass-storage driver. You'll
need:
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD (USB 2.0)
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE (mass-storage)
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD (SCSI-disk)
After connecting the disk, check dmesg to see which device has been created.
Most probably it's /dev/sda, if you don't have any other SCSI/USB disks.
(Sorry for the OT'ness, but it _is_ to be used with gentoo :))
Don't worry. gentoo-user is used to it ;-)
