Re: External Drive for Mac?
There shouldn’t be much difference between any of the external drives, although some marketed specifically for apple users might have some hardware optimizations (unsure on this, so don’t quote me on it). Now, most externals work with USB and often work best with USB 3.0. There are some with the Thunderbolt 2.x or 3.x capability and those are definitely faster on transfer than any of the USB stuff. In the end, it comes down to 3 choices: capacity, compatibility and price. -Eric > On Nov 6, 2022, at 5:55 PM, Mohammad Fazil wrote: > > Hi, Group. > I am looking for an external drive for Mac.

Re: External Drive for Mac?
It doesn’t matter. The same drive will work on either system. Only thing to be aware of, is that a drive formatted as an NTSF drive, should be reformatted for best performance on a Mac. - Brad - On Nov 6, 2022, at 18:55, Mohammad Fazil wrote: Hi, Group.

Hi, I tried their demo and it didn't work. Recognized the drives just fine but wouldn't let me modify the ntfs one. I've tried another one of these packages as well which came with one of my clients' external hard drives, but no joy with that one either.

SSD external drive for Mac
Guys, I had a very disappointing experience today. I bought a 128GB SSD drive, only to learn that a Mac could not write to it. It was bad enough that I couldn't find an SSD drive with FireWire ports, but to find a drive that could only be written to buy a Windows computer? This was absolutely unacceptable. Does anyone know of an SSD drive with FireWire ports that can be used by a Mac?

Re: Partitioning an external drive under mac os Lion with Voiceover
This was an excellent post! Thanks for being so detailed in your description. Only one thing i'd add is once you interact with the scroll area, select the untitled 1 or 2 or however many partitions you have, with vO+command+f5. You can use VO+shift+space to perform a mouse click. That takes the necessity of physically clicking with the trackpad away from the equation. I find that sometimes this works, and sometimes it's good to turn voiceover off and on again after performing a mouse click, then rename the partition as desired.

I've bought a 1 TB external hard drive, and I wanted to partition it so that it has two different volumes. This is how I accomplished it in Mac OS Lion. I connected my USB drive to my mac. 1. Open Disk Utility (from the finder, shortcut key, command+shift+u), and then start typing disk utility to get there. 2. In the table of all available disks, find the disk you wish to partition. 3. Stop interacting with the table of your disks and move to the right through the available tabs until you've reached partition tab. Press vo+space to select it. 4. Move right to hear partition layout popup button. Here yo you can choose how many partitions you wish to have on your drive. In my case, I chose two partitions. 5. Move to the right. You will encounter a field that Voiceover reports as something like name text field. At this stage this field will be reported as dimmed which means that you cannot do anything with it. 6. Move to the right and yo you will hear scroll area. This is where it gets interesting. Remember, I chose to partition my external drive into two. 7. Interact with the scroll area. You will be able to navigate with vo+arrow keys here, and you will hear: untitled1 plus some info about the value of the default size of the partition and if you move right, you will hear horizontal splitter and then, untitled2 with the value of the default size of the partition. At this point, you can't do anything with these areas. However, in order to be able to name your partitions, you have to do the following steps. 8. While still interacting with the scroll area, place your Voiceover cursor on the first untitled area. If you have a mac that has a trackpad which by default is enabled with Voiceover, first disabled the trackpad commander with vo + rotor left. Voiceover will say trackpad commander off. Then bring your ouse cursor to the Voiceover cursor with vo+command+f5. Confirm with vo+f5 that you are on the untitled1 field and then physically click the mouse/trackpad. 9. At this point, Disk Utility got busy for me and I had to force quit it. To avoid this, after you had physically clicked the mouse pad, turn Voiceover off and then on again (don't rush the process), and then stop interacting with the scroll area and move left to the name text field. 10. You will notice, that now Voiceover announces name text field as untitled1 and it is not dimmed so that yo you can enter the name of your volume here. 11. After you are done with this partition, interact with the scroll area again, only this time move to the untitled2 and perform the same actions here as you had done with untitled1'. Then again, as soon as you physically click the trackpad, turn Voiceover off, and then turn it on again, and then stop interacting with the scroll area and move to the left to the name field where you can now enter the name of your second volume.

Partitioning an external drive under mac os Lion with Voiceover
Dear listers, I thought I'd post my experience of partitioning an external usb drive under mac os Lion in case somebody else needed to do this in the future. I've bought a 1 TB external hard drive, and I wanted to partition it so that it has two different volumes. This is how I accomplished it in Mac OS Lion. I connected my USB drive to my mac. 1. Open Disk Utility (from the finder, shortcut key, command+shift+u), and then start typing disk utility to get there. 2. In the table of all available disks, find the disk you wish to partition. 3. Stop interacting with the table of your disks and move to the right through the available tabs until you've reached partition tab. Press vo+space to select it. 4. Move right to hear partition layout popup button. Here yo you can choose how many partitions you wish to have on your drive. In my case, I chose two partitions. 5. Move to the right. You will encounter a field that Voiceover reports as something like name text field. At this stage this field will be reported as dimmed which means that you cannot do anything with it. 6. Move to the right and yo you will hear scroll area. This is where it gets interesting. Remember, I chose to partition my external drive into two. 7. Interact with the scroll area. You will be able to navigate with vo+arrow keys here, and you will hear: untitled1 plus some info about the value of the default size of the partition and if you move right, you will hear horizontal splitter and then, untitled2 with the value of the default size of the partition. At this point, you can't do anything with these areas. However, in order to be able to name your partitions, you have to do the following steps. 8. While still interacting with the scroll area, place your Voiceover cursor on the first untitled area. If you have a mac that has a trackpad which by default is enabled with Voiceover, first disabled the trackpad commander with vo + rotor left. Voiceover will say trackpad commander off. Then bring your ouse cursor to the Voiceover cursor with vo+command+f5. Confirm with vo+f5 that you are on the untitled1 field and then physically click the mouse/trackpad. 9. At this point, Disk Utility got busy for me and I had to force quit it. To avoid this, after you had physically clicked the mouse pad, turn Voiceover off and then on again (don't rush the process), and then stop interacting with the scroll area and move left to the name text field. 10. You will notice, that now Voiceover announces name text field as untitled1 and it is not dimmed so that yo you can enter the name of your volume here. 11. After you are done with this partition, interact with the scroll area again, only this time move to the untitled2 and perform the same actions here as you had done with untitled1'. Then again, as soon as you physically click the trackpad, turn Voiceover off, and then turn it on again, and then stop interacting with the scroll area and move to the left to the name field where you can now enter the name of your second volume. I hope this will help some people on the list who have been struggling to partition their external drives.

Re: Partitioning an external drive under mac os Lion with Voiceover
Hello Andrew, very useful information for us Lion users. Thank you for sharing. Just as a side note. It might be good if you could send an email to Apple's accessibility address so they know about this problem.
