Not silly at all - I was wondering exactly the same thing. I've bought
two of these

one for me running Ubuntu the other for a friend running Mint. They both
work perfectly. Mine gets used with an ext4 formatted drive, hers with
the XP drive pulled from the laptop before I put in a new one to install
Mint.
