Does it support NFSv4? What about loop-mounting ISO files, for example loop-mounting downloaded Linux install DVD image to avoid extracting the DVD.

I'm not 100% sure on NFSv4 but you can loop mount image files including ISO.

External DVD drives will work with Linux right out of the box (as will external hard drives, by the way).

You should be able to. I was able to reformat it to ext4 for a Linux data drive with no problems.

Not sure. I would suggest you to use a flash drive to install linux stuff instead.

It works great with Suse and Open Suse Linux with no problems using standard drivers installed with linux -- I don't use the Setpoint, so I can't speak to that issue

I've had no problems using it. Didn't need the disc that came with it. Windows and linux see it as a burner and work fine for cd's, dvd's, and BD.

I run a 32-bit Vista system. Formatted a 4tb drive GTP/NTFS, connected via eSata and it is both fast and reliable. USB does not work.

I have not tried it with Linux to this point. ..I have a feeling it won't automount as it did in windows though. ..

yes, it is easy to map as a network drive. I have mapped it to both Windows 7 and 8, as well as Linux

There are NO complicated configuration files for the end user to accidently delete,change, or otherwise tamper with. Also it is bootable. The files remain in there ISO there will be no cross contimination. I have yet to see a virtual drive product for a USB stick that is bootable from the BIOS. (If you know of one, I would like to know what it so I can test it.) Virtual Drive programs that mount an ISO, that I know of, require a running OS to function.

I am about to install a 6TB drive so I will let you know if I am successful but according to intel, it should be fine. The support of your HDD depends on the RAID card. This is a RAID expander and is only meant to extend an existing RAID controllers capacity of HDDs. This does not create a RAID array. UPDATE: I have installed my 6TB WD Red HDD and have no issues. Simply plugged it in, turned on my server, and it showed up in my OS (Linux Mint 17.1) without any issues. No configuration needed. Just plug and play.

No. This product requires the source drive to be smaller than the destination. There is a high chance of failure if you would try using a smaller destination since the product is not designed to pull certain partitions or sectors on the disk.

I don't know how it would act with Linux, but, with Microsoft Windows is proved to be unreliable - data corruption, lock ups... with a known good SATA drive. In other words, I would look elsewhere if you value your data!

i seriously doubt it, unless you can work something out with the seller.ms should make the iso available for free (it's worthless without a coa), because a situation like this one led me to try linux for the first time and i don't plan on ever going back.i suggest linux mint or zorin.doesn't cost a dime.

I don't know. I've been using 8G flash drives or an old WD Cavier 313000, 13G ide hard drive. I'm not sure if it's formatted in Fat/NFTS. Sorry!
