[GLLUG] USB hard drive enclosure

[Andy Lee]

I recently picked up an IBM branded laptop hard drive enclosure on eBay for < $10 shipped. No fan, and powered through the USB port. I've not had any issues with heat, and it automounted (had 3 NTFS partitions on it from the laptop I pulled it from) and worked immediately in Ubuntu. The enclosure is not much bigger than the 2.5" drive, and has become a very useful, very large usb key :)

I'm looking for an external USB hard drive enclosure. I figure one with
a fan is a must to keep it cool. Googling has indicated some are not
compatible with Linux so I'm a little gun shy with picking up just any
ol' one.

Any suggestions?
