[QUOTE="scathe, post: 794447, member: 81672"] you can always solve the problem of fat32 with adding a different filesystem compatibility to your MacOS first thing I did, no way I'm using FAT32 to share data :D .. used macFuse and ntfs-3g just be sure to use the Safely Remove Hardware option under windows and Eject in Mac, couldn't read from the disk if my friend didn't remove it properly ... as far as the hard drive goes, just pick anything that suits you .. I'd go with Western Digital for the disk, never had a problem and they are overall reliable ... they also make a 2,5 Passport version already installed in the frame, but more expensive though although looking at my desk, I have a Hitachi disk in an MSI case ... hm :D had it lying around so why not use it [/QUOTE]
