Hi there,

I want to buy an external USB Drive of approx 200 Gb to an Linux box (Mandriva 10.2). Do you think I'm going in trouble ...
Could you recommand me some external USB Driver fully compatible ?

Thank's in advance

no, this should be fine. It's just a usb mass storage device. It should be detected as such and mounted on your desktop automagically when you plug it in.

I can't envisage any problems and would go for which ever model takes your fancy....

Thank's for your answer. But I was a little bit afraid when I've seen some post in this forum about pluging USB Drive.
