+====== External HDD ======
+I've bought a nice External HDD case from iSTAR and the 1TB drive that I purchased arrived first.  Keen to get some files onto it I just had to plug it in.
+{{:istar:istar-exthdd.png|}}
+Once it was formatted up via the WEB interface I telneted back in to see what it looks like
+<code>
+# fdisk -l /dev/hda
+Disk /dev/hda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
+heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders
+Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
+Disk identifier: 0x00000000
+   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
+/dev/hda1               1          32      257008+  83  Linux
+/dev/hda2              33          95      506047+  82  Linux swap
+/dev/hda3              96      121601   975996945   83  Linux

+Mount the drive in a real Linux machine allows to see some other interesting things about the format of the partitions.
