How well do USB hardrives work under FreeBSD?  What brands do/don't work.  
(The discussion of this in the FAQ under hardware compatibiilty

a) doesn't discuss disk drives and
b) refers to version 3.x of FreeBSD!

)

Is there some other place I ought to be looking for this sort of info?

is 1394/firewire supported at all?

How about USB-2?  And would I have to have USB-2 *ports* on my computer to 
use it if it was, or is this just a software/driver/external device 
difference?

Thanks for any insight.
