I have bought a WD 2Tb external hard drive. I would like to move my iPhoto and iTunes libraries to it from a Mac formatted 500Gb WD drive. I can't remember which format I used, it was a while ago.
(I plan to dedicate the 500Gb HD to Time Machine as back up. Which format to use?)
Which of the four Mac formats in Disc Utility, Erase, would be best for this purpose?
What are the implications of Journaled, Encrypted and Case Sensitive parameters?
I would like the JPEG's in the iPhoto library of my life to be easily seen by family members who use Windows, when I am gone. (Not being morbid, just thinking ahead.....).
I have also puchased Aperture, and, when I have time ,would like to get to know this better. I understand that a dedicated HD is preferable for this?
So which format to use and should I partion for future Aperture use?
All help gratefully received.
Many thanks.
