	Well I have a 1000 GiB external hard drive in a after market
cheap case and have no problems with it aside of having to chown it
usually after a fresh install.
	So seldom that I forget the procedure in the intervals.

	But USB itself has problems.

	Now I dunno how you have the disk formatted but it sounds since
it works with Windows that it must be NTFS?

	Now that works with my Mageia 4.1 in that I can read and write usually 
to NTFS directories.  But it is not a Linux native system so
I suggest you re-partition that drive so that part according to your
work loads in the various OS you employ but so that you have not only
an NTFS partition but a Linux partition file system depending on use
but ext4 is great except for very large files.

	Now despite USB's critical flaws I am going back to watching my
show on my external hard drive played by my computer thru ,hdmi to the
32 inch full HD screen.
