Maybe but not necessarily.

Yes.

The main source of your problem may be the different USB chips used in
the external drives.  You could attribute this to the lack of robust USB
drivers in RHEL 3.  It's interesting to see your Maxtor 100GB drive
works.  I wonder if it's USB chip is different than the other Maxtor and
Seagate drives.

Personally, I've used generic USB enclosures and inserted my own drive
in them.  Once I find a generic USB enclosure I know works with RHEL 3,
I can choose whichever hard disk I want.

For example, this enclosure for 2.5-inch laptop drives works great:
