My guess is that these drives may fail-protect to RO due to heat. Can the engineering people at WD reply?
The other issue is, has a foreign filesystem type, like ext3, been tested on this device? I am tempted to slice the disk and set up a few ext3 filesystems. Anyone comment?

I can tell you that right now we do not test our drives on Linux operating systems. However, that may change in the future as Linux continues to gain popularity. But you should keep in mind that we only state that these drives are compatible with certain Windows and Mac OS’s.
