    Decent deal for brand name enclosure with many inputs. If I'm not mistaken they even have Kensington lock hole (need to verify that).

    Why do drives require mac specific formatting? I use my FAT32 and NTFS USB drives on my gf's mac all the time with no problems?

    • BlinkyBill on 28/02/2010 - 17:26

      Because then you're missing out on good stuff like journaling, which make for a much more resilient file system. I you are using the drive exclusively on mac and other mac machines then you would format it with HFS+, but if you need need to move files around from mac to pc etc, then FAT32 or NTFS would be a better choice.

        NTFS is a journaling file system (like most current file systems), but FAT32 isn't.

        I think the main reason they do mac specific ones is because most mac users don't know what they are doing, and so it has to plug in "and just work".
