“Will this unit work connected to a computer running on linux (ubuntu)?”

1-5 of 5 Answers

• This unit is formatted in NTFS which is the Windows partition format. Ubuntu can read NTFS but Windows cannot read the Linux partition format. I don't think the software that comes preinstalled on this drive will function with Ubuntu but you can probably find some other software to backup data for you.
