And HDDs that don’t work on Linux, really? That’s a joke.
Of course an unformatted HDD over a simple usb interface supports linux. They just don't list linux due to such a small user base. Linux is so vague/generic so they definitely aren't going to list every distro as it would confuse most people.

No type C port, now, in the year 2017? Lame... When I made an attempt at finding more details about this product, I got confusing info all over the Internet. Lame x2.

It's not at all vague/generic. In fact, everything you need to support an external drive is already baked in the Linux kernel itself and it's distro-independent. People in companies listing specs should have known better.
There would be no point doing that since hardware support is in Linux itself (the kernel).
Exactly.

@Ministers and agents: -the Linux user base certainly cannot be estimated as "small". And most certainly not as small to be dismissed as insignificant -if it is "vague/generic" in terms of the number of "distros", it still shouldn't prevent Elecom to MENTION Linux (simply: Linux, not any particular distro). AND the UNIX, too! But, the BigBadBill is using a strategy known as "money talks", right? "I'll pay you too keep silent about it...to avoid mentioning it"

You two misunderstood my meaning. Using the word Linux alone is a vague term due to lack of specifics. They aren't going to list Ubuntu support only because other people would ask why it doesn't support X distro and they certainly aren't going to list every distro.
