Hi, I quickly tested the following two USB powered drives with the Touch : Toshiba Canvio Basics 750 GB E05A075BAU2XK - formatted as EXT-3 Toshiba Canvio 1.0 TB USB 3.0 HDTC610XL3B1 - formatted as NTFS (default) Both seems to be working fine. I only did a quick test scanning a 9k track collection. The ext3 formatted drives feels faster than my old 640 GB drive (which is now also ext3), and the NTFS feels slower, not a scientific test. On the 750 GB, smart monitoring was disabled, and I had to enable it (under Linux using smarctl). I was worried that the USB 3.0 drive would not work, especially that the review complain a lot about flaky cable connector, but it seems to work fine.
Also, my original Toshiba has now been attached to the Touch for over two years 24/7, went through all the firmware upgrades, collection updates, power outage, reformat to ext3, and it is still working fine. I'm pleased.
