Hi, As stated in the title I need some help backing up files, specifically my PS1, PS2 and maybe PS3 games. Which external disk drive that works with Linux would be recommended for this endevour? Thank you for your time.

Your restriction makes it hard for most people to recommend something. You’re already asking a niche of a niche (emulator users who back up disc-based games), and then you’re looking for a niche within that (Linux users).
Your post title also seemed to be asking about something else – I thought you were looking for HDD recommendations (since that’s a hard disk drive, but you’re looking for a disc drive because English is a stupid language sometimes).
Yes, sorry English is not my first language so sometimes I make mistakes.
As for the Linux thing it was more that sometimes hardware just doesn’t work with it, that is why I mentioned it. I was more looking for a recomendation on a dvd or blu-ray (with cd capability for ps1 games) drive that people had good experience with.
It’s looking like no one who knows is finding this post. Sorry about that.
Do give the Linux community a try though – I feel like you’re more likely to get an answer there. It doesn’t matter what you’re using the disc drive for, it just needs to work with Linux.
I will try in the Linux community. I was planning to look at the drives suggested and look up compatability afterwards and if someone knew one that worked that would have just been a bonus.
