[QUOTE="snoslicer8, post: 536147, member: 19029"] you can buy the Western Digital MyBook World Edition. It comes in 500 GB and 1 TB flavors, and has an Ethernet port for connectivity. NAS (network attached storage) drives can be formatted either way, both computers will be able to read either format. If you think you might connect via USB from time to time, consider FAT32 so Windows can still read it. You could also format it for Mac and use Mac Drive on the PC to read it. If you're planning on only using it via network, format it fie whichever system you plan on accessing it with the most. You could also go buy any HDD you want and buy an Airport Extreme with your new Mac. They have USB ports for hosting a networked external HDD. [/QUOTE]
