External hard drive

I have a Dell Precision 350 computer running Fedora Core. I need to purchase an external hard drive (USB, 160GB) and want to make sure I buy something that is compatible for this machine and operating system.

I have a few of them. USB external drives use a common protocol. Just about any major manufacturer will probably work okay.
 
However, remember that your HDD will be accessed using the SCSI emulation system and will therefore be accessed as such.
