How well does the WindowsXP compatibility work in the Mac Pro?
Thanks, Rob.

HI
If I were you I'd use Firewire 800 drives. its espeially usefull when large files lke video files are involved, the speed is doubled over USB. meny FW800 drives have tripple interface (USB, FW400 and FW800). it makes them very ersatile. and yes Mac Pro will work with NTFS and FAT32 (windows) formats.
you can easyly reformat the drive using Disk Utility app that come with every mac.
windows works just fine on Mac Pro (via apple boot camp or paralells Desktop)
