i have two important questions that i cant seem to get answers to and i figure people here might know (im in the market for an external hard drive).
1) can i use it to transfere files between a pc and a mac? (i've heard stuff about formatting it so its compatible with both and then reformatting it for optimal usage on just my mac, but dont know how/if this works).
2) Do external hd's without embedded processors use host resources? while shopping online ive seen a lot of hd's that brag about having embedded processors and not using host resources, but i've also been told that none do. can anyone clear this up for me?
