Thanks for that suggestion. I've read several recommendations for WD 2.5"
drives, so I'd like to go that route.

The "My Passport Essential" drives look nice:

However, there are numerous reviews on the net stating that these drives
do not behave like "normal" drives but require a (Windows) driver and a
"virtual cd". Is it possible to repartition/reformat these drives using
standard linux/debian tools, so they can be used with the slug under
Debian?

Regards, Richard
