Using Fedora Core 6 running on an intel mac mini, connected via firewire port.

I have two minor issues at this time:
1) It's a bit loud
2) This is an issue with all firewire dives I have and may be limited to FC6 or all of linux distros.
-If the drive is off or in a power-down state, Linux is unable to wake up the drive.
-Resolution: Power-On/Restart drive, manually mount the drive.
