Is it possible to use Seagate Firecuda Gaming Hard Drive with Linux?
by fredmyra from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FB61)
I have just bought a Seagate Firecuda Gaming Hard Drive and after receiving it I was shocked by learning that the documentation has explicit instructions for different OSes, Chromebooks included, but no Linux distros are included.
Troubleshooting includes a reference to "supported OS".
Seagate support said that normally it should work once formatted to right file system type, but they could not promise anything based on the fact that the data sheet for that model did not mention any testing or support for Linux, which confused me even more given the possibility of using it under Chrome OS.
I do not care for the Seagate software for backups or funny RGG lightning and I want ext4.
Any opinion or counsel will be much appreciated.
