Gig

 I'm using a WD 1TB SATA drive in an Antec MX-1 external
case.  The case has
 a cooling fan with under/over airflow and supports drives
up to 1.5TB.  It
 has USB 2.0 and eSata connections.  I'm able to move
files between Vista, XP
 Pro, and Debian boxes.

 Just about everyone has 1TB USB external drives

- what doesn't
 work?

 I'll look into that one Andy. Thanks

Side note on solid state SD drives.

We have some 2T (yes, two tetra bytes) solid state SD Cards
in
the lab. Lots of storage, and no altitude restrictions like
hard drives.

No idea when this stuff with hit the shelves at your
favorite
electronics stores, but it does exist.  With 2T we
really need
USB3.0 connections to stream the data.

Have you tested them with Linux? I bought a USB 500 Gb
drive and it worked up to
100 Gb and then  refused to store any more.

Paul,

There is an extended format of SD -- SDXC.  Linux will support
this on the latest builds.  I suspect another few months before
you see cards and card readers.
