[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 966199, member: 56231"] In addition to the answers already provided, and if your two external drives have firewire connection, have you considered simply daisy-chaining them? Both will mount to either of your computer's desktops. You can drag and drop to your heart's content. Portability might prove the stumbling block, as USB-powered external drives can't be daisy-chained, nor do Mac USB ports provide sufficient grunt in many (reported) cases. [/QUOTE]
