CoachTheCoach Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi folks, Between work and at home i use both Windows and MAC, is there a hard drive you would suggest that would work on both? I am talking about saving, editing, pretty much doing everything on both without any hassle. Any help is appreciated! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azert Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Very difficult to get a hard drive that works between both. They are formatted with different file systems. one is FAT and the other is NTFS. Might be worthwhile using onedrive or google drive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Format it on the PC and you won't have a problem going between machines for storage use. It's PC's that can't read the Mac file format. I've got a variety of external drives. But assuming the computers got USB 3, any bog standard Toshiba or Samsung should do the trick for 50 odd quid for a 1TB model. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
