Hi

Anyone got any recommendations regarding usb external hard disks,  size
about 500 to 1 tb would work fine for me,  as a back up tool

I take it most of these devices should just work with Linux,  i see on
boxes it says designed for PC / MAC.

Just wondered what experiences people and if any should be avoided due
to being poor quality build.

I'd suggest an empty enclosure then put in the disk of your choice. That way you know what make / quality of HD you're putting your valuable data on.
