Yes. Maxtor USB 2040ROM001. I use this 40 Gb USB 2.0 drive under RedHat 7.3. Once I understood how to set it up, it has run like a champ. I did once mess up its file system (ext2), perhaps by powering down before unmounting or disconnecting the USB cable, but that was readily fixed without data loss. I use it as a (very!) cheap backup device by mirroring my HD to it. Before, I relied on a DAT tape drive, but can no longer afford the size of drive I would now need.
