they're using wd in the iMacs and mac pros, and I think toshiba in the
latest macbooks. Dad's macbook pro has a wd in it.
my mac mini had an hitachi drive which I upgraded when I started to get
the click of death. NOt all their drives are bad, just the deskstar ones
as far as I know.

Hey Ash, the Deskstar was an IBM product at one point as I recall. THose drives
were initially quite good, but turned out to be complete garbage, but this was
over 10 years ago and the 3.5 formfactor.
I know APple selects drives that are quiet and run as cool as possible. I have

yeah. don't know if that woudl work, having upgraded the mbp the optical
drive slot is completely difference, and so are the posissions of th

That is funny Ashley, APple uses as far as I can tell Hitachi drives in all of
their notebooks. So far I have not had any problems with either Mac notebook I
own and my employer provided. I am not sure if they are using them in the
iMacs, but pretty sure my wife's iMac has a WD.

A USB hard drive will work with the PC and the mac, just format it with the
fat32 file system, this way, both platforms will be able to read and write to
it.

Have any of you used xfat as a formatting option? I'm in the same boat as it
were, and according to my research, xfat works as fat32 does, but sans the
file-size limitations. I don't yet have a Mac to try this on, but thought I'd
pass the info along just the same.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the information. Now is it difficult to format the drive to the
Fat 32?

No, you can do this in windows by connecting it and opening the context menu in
the computer window, choose format and choose fat32 for the format type. You
can do this on a mac using the disk utility, although it calls it erasing the
drive instead of formatting.

Hi I would rather go for a firewire drive as this would give you
faster transfer rates, go for a firewire drive if your mac, pc and
other devices have firewire ports. If not you also get hard drive
enclosures which have both a firewire and usb port...

Hi Big Boy,
My PC, Mac, and Braille Sense Plus don't have fire wire ports that I know
off. I know that all of these devices have USB ports though. So what
external hard drive should I go for then that will give me fast spped, lots
of memory, and not cost a lot?
Thanks,

I just love my Western digital drives, and they work just fine, with all the
devices you want. I have a my passport portable USB drive, which is 500 GB,
doesn't use a wall outlet, and is fairly affordable. I got mine for under
$100. Just format it FAT32, and that will work with all your devices,
The only issue with FAT32 is the infamous 4 GB limitation on file size. I
don't have that many files of that size or larger around, but I think the days
of its viability as a filesystem are numbered, and have been for some time. I
think there's also a limitation on total disk size, but can't
