Does this support Linux?

I Run Fedora 21 through this interface and USB3 with no issues. It's basically as fast as an internal drive.

I think it does, worst case scenario it doesn't work and you send it back to the seller. I wouldn't though as it worked on 3 different hard drives I used it on and I was able to get all my data. None were Linux but they were all different and it worked on all of them.

On Ubuntu 12.04 it seems to work once. As soon as you unplug it, though, the kernel log spams and it doesn't work again until you reboot.

Hi! We don't have a driver/software for Linux that will work with this adapter.

Wishy-washy answer: it should... Don't know anyone who uses Linux so can't verify.

It works with my Linux Mint OS. It was plug & play. That's about as good as it gets for the price.

I do not use Linux but it does work perfectly with Windows XP and Windows 7. There were no problems installing it and still use it on one of my computers.

Installed and works well on the windows based platform. Never installed it on linux, however it was basically plug play , so it should.

I am wondering the same thing. I will be using the most recent release of either CentOS or Ubuntu and I would hate to find out it doesn't work on Linux.

Yes...I have Linux Lite on it now. Have used Mint..Peppermint...and PClinuxOS also. All work fine.

Not official answer here... but it should be. I'm planning on throwing Linux on it.

Don't know about Linux. I've only used it with Windows 7 & 8.1 & it works fine with both of those.

Officially only Win/Mac OSs are supported. It doesn't come with a Linux driver and Genius website doesn't provide one. However, http:// goo.gl/7FK

If it has a USB 3.0 port, runs Windows or Mac OS X (not sure about Linux), then it should work just fine.

I don't think so. But if you have lib that can run for raspi then it should work.

Absolutely. I bought this item because it works great with both Windows and Linux. Well worth it. I need to buy another one because I gave this one away to one of my students.

I haven't tried it, but I can't imagine it not working with linux or any OS for that matter.

I used it on Mint, and got it working, but it didn't perform as well as it did on windows. It broke and they wouldn't honor the warranty so I can't test on my current distro. I would say go with something else for Linux.
