Hello All,
been talking to my bro-in-law and he'd like to get an external hard drive to use at home to back up photos etc. His main computer is a Mac, which doubles as a TV, in the lounge. However, due to his love of GTA, I built a PC for upstairs for him (cos I'm nice) but anyway - I was thinking of getting the Western Digital MyBook for him to use...
BUT. What considerations do i need to take when talking about usage on both MacOS and the PC? I'm guessing that NTFS wont be usable on the Mac?
If i reformatted the drive (can i do this natively without extra software?), then can that be accessable on the PC?
Finally, are there any issues with Macs and USB2.0 drives? I read somewhere that they were a bit temperamental. The firewire version is that bit more expensive, so if USB2 is ok, then I'd rather that really.
Thanks for answers to any of the above
JP
