I have three different USB hard drives. They have all worked on every 
operating system I have tried - XP, Fedora core 2, FreeBSD 4.9 and 
FreeBSD 5.3. I do not think you will have an issue if you purchase a 
recent model USB hard disk enclosure.

FreeBSD was the hardest to get it working on, but I do have them working 
with FreeBSD. I built the FBSD 4 kernel with umass and ehci(high speed USB).
