[wplug] Linux Compatible External Drives

[beer at cmu.edu]

Hey kids, hope everyone is well.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good external drives that support
linux out of the box?

I need something that is 500G, and preferably supports both usb and
firewire, but I can do without the firewire.  If it had a usuable encryption
option that would also be swell.

I've done some searches and I find drives that OS X and Solaris compatible
out of the box but none yet that support linux.

I know I can just reformat the drive and all, but given the magnitude of the
work I need this for, I want to have to do as little as possible to the
drives before I can use them.

TIA
