It probably depends more on your BIOS version on your motherboard. The only problem I had on my boxes when I bought a 40GB drive was BIOS related, and once updated it, the BIOS also handled a 100GB drive I bought later.
However, you mention USB in your title. Are you talking about USB 2.0? USB 1 is pretty slow, and is generally more useful for extra storage, not to run off of. But USB would at least eliminate BIOS considerations. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Manzabar Sent: Monday, December 31, 2001 8:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: USB external harddrive? I'm considering adding some additional HD space to my linux box, which currently has no available internal slots. I was looking at a Maxtor 536DX 100GB drive (model# 4W100H6) however it's not listed on RH's hardware compatibility list and nothing on Maxtor's site indicates that it might work on a RH box. I'm wondering if anybody on the list has any idea if it might work? _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
