Hi Ray,

I looked at this very product for use with my Ubuntu and CentOS 
machines.  While I wound up not purchasing them, I did talk (by email) 
with the mfg and basically its nothing more than a USB enclosure (only 
not enclosed).

Bottom line is that if you can see external drives in standard USB 
enclosures, this device will work with Ubuntu.

HTH,
-Ray
