The models affected are the external Free Agent drives.  First of all, 
they're formatted NTFS from the factory, which who really cares.

More to the point, they have a power saving feature that spins the 
drives down after a few minutes of inactivity, however with linux 
drives, when they come back up they only connect with a USB 1.1 rather 
connection.
