yes I can agree with you there
there is also a classic thing as well about hard drive transfer. IDE to
sSCSI will transfer but not the other way as an example. it can depend on the
format characteristics of the drive and other settings including jumper
settings on the actual HDD in the caddy as well as to how it can show up in
windows
and mac. unfortunately windows XP suffers from issues which cause mac
drives to fail or be seen as an unrecognisable media type requiring a format.
that can sometimes be a problem. there are also documented cases of data
writing on the caddy from a mac and data being irradicated when hooked up to
a PC when it goes to scan disk or chkdsk.exe
anyhow if it was me I'd run an extended mac drive anyway
take care all and have fun
