Can anyone recommend an external 500Gb+ NAS and USB 2.0 HD, that runs reliably with Feisty?

Thanks

Western digital My book , Is solid as a rock , many different sizes - the 500gig sells for about 150$ is I'm not mistaken.

Chalk another one up for My Book. I love mine. I have the 500gb version, running on my mac mini, but I had used it in Linux and worked out of the box.

They're down to $125 on Newegg if you are in the states.

hmmm, i must have had a bad one in the bunch then. my mybook died second time i tried to use it and western digital refused to help me so i gave them the phone-call version of the finger and replaced it with a seagate. had it for a while now, no problems.

$150-$200 tops for 500 gig mybook. Friend has and ive tested with ubuntu and runs fine... Most Ext HDD will work instantly with ubuntu but I like the mybook one's
