[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1108716"] Tarek fails to mention, however, that NTFS is read-only by default on the Mac. This may or may not be a huge issue. There are rather geeky ways around it, but for "normal" people I usually suggest just sticking with FAT32 if the drive must be used with both PC and Mac and avoiding using it with any files larger than 4GB (which apart from video is generally pretty easy to do). I'm all about the lazy, easy way to do stuff. :) [/QUOTE]
