Hello Gurus: |

We have an office Gentoo server that I want to configure to run backups on |
| 6 |
an external USB drive. I've attempted this in the past and ended up |
| 7 |
purchasing one that was not compatible (I don't recall the name, started |
| 8 |
with a B I believe). The issue was lack of Linux drivers/support, only |
| 9 |
Windows. So I thought it prudent to see if you guys had an experience with |
| 10 |
external drives that work well with Gentoo. Plug and play of course, as the |
| 11 |
drive will be moved to a fire safe when not in engaging backup, but I doubt |
| 12 |
that will be an issue with USB connectivity. It doesn't need any bells and |
| 13 |
whistles like some of the secure drive have, but we would consider any such |
| 14 |
benefits. We would need at least 1-2TB, price isn't as much of a concern as |
| 15 |
it is for a business client. It is a 64-bit machine, so 32-bit only is out, |
| 16 |
not sure if that's as big of a concern anymore. |
