I plugged it to my linux Fedora 13 and Fedora 10 boxes but there are no signs of being recognised. The drive turns on and spins, but linux does not see it. I tried USB and eSATA cables. I suspect that the problem is that the drive comes formatted in HFS (for Macs). Did you remove the HFS formats? Can you tell me how you managed to make it work?
