[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 1172994, member: 33722"] OS X Extended Journaled is the current standard. Not sure what to tell you. Take it back if you don't like it. Files saved on to a Mac file system (HFS+) can be read by Mac, Windows and Linux. The file system can only be written to by Mac. There are paid and free applications which allow Windows and Linux to do so. Both my Macs and my Windows boxes can drag and drop to and from the Seagate drive. To share the drive you need to go into "System Preferences" > "Sharing" then select "File Sharing" and click the "Options" button. Once there select the check box that says "Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)" I'm sure there are plenty of better drives out there. Perhaps check Other World Computing for Mac-specific options. I suppose you can get whatever you want if you have enough money. ;) [/QUOTE]
