My girlfriend wants an external for backing up photo's music on her I-mac (no e-sata hookup). I will be building new system (running XP) in the months to come. Would this be a good option? Can I share the hard drive, and if so would I have to partition into two diff hd's?

not too up on mac's myself, but i would venture a guess to share the drive between the i-mac and PC, the hdd would have to be split into at least two partitions. def go with the e-sata (it has USB 2.0 as well) since it is just as fast as internal sata.

if the hard drive was formatted as FAT32 (which mac's can read and write to) then you would be ok.
you would have to format it from the mac's disk utility though as winXP can only format up to 32GB* *i do not know if this is true anymore -------------------- OCC Rules || OC Basics || OC Software  | Intel E8400 | Asus P5Q | 4GB of G.Skill PQ 8000 RAM | Palit 4850 512MB Sonic | PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 | | 2x 320GB in Raid0 for OS + 750GB for data | D-Link DNS323 w/2TB for Media | |
