Haven't made the jump yet, trying to line up my ducks. OK, I'm thinking of buying a 500GB-750GB external HDD which I would like to use as a storage drive for a lot of my files (music, images, MS Word Docs, etc.) and I may wind up with having to keep one desktop PC on my home network so if I can somehow "share" a big drive between the iMac/PC, that would be great. Maybe after a year of using Windows XP on the dark side of the iMac I could actually give up on the separate PC, but for now... its not going to happen.
Are there any _reasonably_ priced external HDDs that connect via ethernet, or has anyone developed a USB hub that interfaces to a network?
The other side of this question is whether a HDD like this has to be formated for PC or Mac?
