Yes. I have used this drive formatted to NTFS on Ubuntu without problems recognizing it. The other 2 I purchased I cracked open the case and put the drive itself into my desktop (internal HDD)..I like starting off fresh, wiped it, initialized it to GPT formatted to ext4...works like a champ...now i just screwed myself it will crash in 24 hours lol
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you reformat it for Linux, you can use it with a Linux system.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can use any external hard drive with Linux. You may need to reformat it - but even that is not certain. If you connect it and it works, you're done. In the unlikely event the drive is not recognized, most Linux distributions come with the program called Gparted pre-installed, which can take care of reformatting the drive. Any pre-loaded software on the external disk will almost certainly be Mac or Windows specific, and not usable for Linux - but the drive will work fine as external storage.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it will work with Linux. You may want to reformat it, depending on what you plan to use if for, but you can definitely use it with Linux. I run Fedora 22 and access it without issue.
