Actually, even if I had used one which worked there would be no point in 
suggesting it specifically.  These devices use the USB Mass Storage 
protocol, which has been supported since Linux 2.4.x.  Same for USB 
sticks, USB hard drives, and many digital cameras.

I agree with this.  If you haven't yet seen it, the hardware page at the 
FSF is very helpful in determining what will work.
