[ubuntu-in] portable external hdd

[shirish]

Hi all,
 I'm looking for using a portable external hdd which works with GNU/Linux
i.e. Debian/Ubuntu.

I saw one recently the FreeAgent 250 GB but its recommended or works with
Windows and/or Mac.

http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/external/freeagent_desktop_data_movers/

I have 2-3 questions :-

1. This particular drive doesn't have GNU/Linux as a label. As a customer I
would prefer a product which would also be compatible with GNU/Linux, does
anybody know that?

2. The drive is formatted in NTFS. While I don't think there may be issue
with making it ext3 would it void the warranty?

The second question may be out of domain but ubuntu, but perhaps somebody
came across them as well.

All and any suggestions, opinions to the above are encouraged.
