If the controller uses the standard USB mass storage device driver. I have a 120GB external USB hard drive and it works fine.

does linux support 200gb hdd on an ext usb
sponsii; agree with pcghost, yes with a second vote. but to make sure os is compatible with device check the compatibility
lists in LQO & MDK hardware compatibility lists to avoid hassle
of finding driver for it if not compatible. ADVICE!
