[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1274671, member: 56379"] To be clear...are you talking: - any Mac that already has an HD in it? - "plug & play" as an external drive? - "plug & play" into an older G4 Mac (such as I suggested above). I'll take a guess that you mean "any" Mac that happens to be laying around...or easy for you to access...and you would be plugging your old drive into it as an external drive (since most newer Mac's that folks have are iMac's & laptops where you would have to do this task as an external drive). Of course you would need an external drive housing & most likely a usb cable to do this. If this is the case...yes...you have a pretty good chance that your old drive will be plug & play. If you mean a different scenario...we can discuss that as well. - Nick [/QUOTE]
