[QUOTE="johnodd4, post: 1622118, member: 331386"] it depends on how you are going to format them. Fat32 supports 1TB and 2TB on mac however on windows it might not read the data and is limited to file sizes of 4 gig's only anything after that you have to format in ntsf which does not work well under mac or mac os x extended Honestly if you have the money go with the 3 TB option you would be much happier and worry less because you have enough space on the drive as a leeway so if you decide to store larger files you don't have to worry about the hard drive space [/QUOTE]
