Maybe you got lucky with the USB-powered drive as it probably doesn't come with automatic power-down in idle state which causes mount headaches under Linux. See my reply to Karanbir re Linux incompatibilities with the Seagate FreeAgent Pro models. Apparently it was all over the tech press a few years back how they left Linux out in the cold.
