Hey,
I've been lurking on this forum for a few weeks now, and I'm learning a lot about apple products.
I'm planning on getting a new uMBP 15in for college in a few weeks, and have a question about the switch.
I'm on a windows PC right now, with a 150gb raptor master drive, and a 1tb sata slave drive. My plan was to backup everything to my slave drive, and trasfer it to my new mac via an external hd enclosure.
My question is, will the mac read the data on the slave drive? I have heard reports of needing to format it to mac version, but this would negate the purpose of backing everything up to it in the first place.
I plan on using this drive as my external in college as well, for backups, storing my movies, etc.
Thanks.
