We have a 1TB My Book that works just fine on Linux.  Purchased it a
few months ago.  I partitioned it half ext3, half FAT32 so we can use
it easily for different things.  (For example, copying files from ext3
to FAT32 causes permission settings to be lost so I want the ext3 on
the external drive too.)

Hate the name, "My Book" but it is working well for us so far.
