Yep. My drive is 1TB. That's plenty of storage space, and it's good for backing up data.

With the prices of 1GB and even 2GB hdds being what they are today, I would say get a good one and put it in an enclosure. I have two of them, one is the predecessor to this model, but they are as cheap as $12USD. Formatted ext4, they automatically mount under /media on a KDE desktop.Last edited by dibl; Aug 01, 2014, 02:42 PM.Leave a comment:

I use a USB exterior hard drive enclosure with a SATA drive formatted to ext4. This has worked well for me.

i have two, one is mostly ntfs with small ext4 partition, ntfs mostly to share with others/other computers,
and one ext4,
i cant think of a reason why an external drive wouldnt play nice with ext4
its just a disk like any other with usb interface to pc.Leave a comment:

Why not if i may ask ?Originally posted by dbaker View Post
I have one with USB 3 and its very quick, almost as quick as my my sata ssd.
Other than that, the "Passport" should work just fine. I have one, left over from when i had a mac and it has given me no problems so far.
I use it now mainly to play back movies on my tv.Leave a comment:

advice on external HD
can anyone reccomend an external hard disk (preferably one of those small passport drives) that works nicely when ext4 formatted?
a friend suggested the WD "My Passport Ultra" but he has a a mac, and after doing some googling I found this:

so I'm not too keen on that idea anymore.
p.s. I don't want an SSD
