I thought the description mentioned that the drive would need to be re-formatted for Mac or Linux, however I must have miss-read the description.  Apparently the drive is simply unusable with the Linux OS and since I use Virtual Windows Systems inside a Linux host, the drive was useless to me.One thing I will mention is that I did test it on my nephew's Windows 7 laptop (USB 2.0 only) and it appeared to load (after a bit of a delay) and work properly however I wasn't able to do much testing with it unfortunately.  It seems like a sturdy little drive and the capacity would've been nice.  If I used Windows or Mac natively on any system, I probably would have kept it. 

Question: How is the quality of the drive?
Answer: Linux
