I've got three external Maxtor 'one touch' drives.  I've
never messed 
with the 'one touch' button, but I do use them to back my
boxes up. 
They all three have both usb and firewire ports and either
work fine 
with Linux.

If you have (or get) a Western Digital MyBook be sure to
check and see
if your unit is part of the firewire cable replacement that
they are
doing.  got my new cable in the mail a week ago.  never had
any problems.
