While not directly related (or useful) in any way, on the side note of supporting NTFS file operations on a Mac, the latest Seagate external hard drives also do this. Apparently Seagate decided that it was easier to have all their drives come pre-formated as NTFS and just support using NTFS in OS X than to maintain a separate line of drives which came formatted as HFS+. I suppose it does simplify their inventory.
