Hi everyone,
I just got a MacBook Pro (early 2008 model) and I love it but I also own a Dell laptop running vista and a desktop with XP on it.
I want to buy an external hard drive but I don't know what would be best for all my computers. I don't even know if it's possible to have one for the 3 machines. What I want to be able to do is use time machine for back ups and also store some of my files from my 2 other windows machines (mostly music, video and pictures).
The one I want is the Western Digital My Passport Studio Portable. It's the thin one formated for Macs and with firewire.
Does the "formated for macs" means I will only be able to use it for macs ?
If anyone knows a portable hard drive that will allow me to use Time Machine and store media from my other machines and has a firewire, I would appreciate it.
also doing backups(or hard drive images) for my 2 other windows machine would be an added bonus. this sounds like a tall order
