I used this hard drive for backing up my on-line drive prior to major version upgrade and fresh install on a Fedora server. Worked great. Will continue to use drive as off-line backup.
Great hard drive.

This hard drive is a no frills attached USB Drive. It uses USB 2.0 and Will work with USB 1 even though it takes a long time. the Drive comes formated NTFS and is plug and play friendly. It works great with Apples Time Machine after you reformat the drive, which is just as easy as formatting any generic flash drive. It even works great with two partitions as I set mine up with half of it OSX journaled and the other Fat32. The only thing I found odd about it was that the HDD access light is on the same side of the enclosure as the power supply and usb connections. which isn't really an issue
Great drive for backups

I have had an Omega 80GB drive for years. Primarily used it for holding system backups (full backups monthly, with daily incremental updates). A few months back, I bought one of these (1TB)for use in backups at my church, it has performed flawlessly. My last purchase was for one to use at home - now I'll keep full weekly's, with daily incremental updates.
With the backups running in the middle of the night, there's no reason not to have good backups for that (eventual) system crash. Having them on an external USB drive that can move from system to system as needed is super.
