[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 620785, member: 21101"] It depends on the format of the drive. If you need to share the data on the drive with Windows at any point in the future, you should buy a normal drive and format it to FAT32. However this will be slower with OS X, won't support indexing and won't support time machine on Leopard. FAT32 is the most compatible HDD format though. [/QUOTE]
