[QUOTE="nargnog, post: 1261267, member: 206540"] I tested this out with my hackintosh today. What I tested on is a Dell mini with a 1.6 ghz atom processor and 2gb of ram running leopard, it ran with a 1.5tb hd plugged via USB formatted as hfs+j with 2 partitions (one for me and one for my wife). It served time machine to my MacBook and my wife's MacBook pro seamlessly. I am going to go forward with my emac plan. I know there have not been many responses here but I have run into much more info in the past day elsewhere. Still I'm not positive that an emac will be able to handle a 2tb volume drive. But I guess I will find out in a week, that's when it should be delivered. I would just use my hackintosh as a server because it work so nicely, but I still use it and I don't want it wired up all the time. [/QUOTE]
