Although, I suppose the more important question is...even if something is "USB certified", is it REALLY going to work?

Just because it SHOULD work, WOULD it work?  If all certified means is that I theoretically could win a prolonged debate with either FreeBSD contributors or the drive manufacturer, then it hardly matters.  Being right on the Internet is worth less than nothing.

I just want to buy half a dozen self-powered USB drives and have them work with multiple architectures (i386 and amd64) using the same recent, stable version of FreeBSD.  Any advice to help me accomplish this goal?
