[RedHorse]

pictures kasi madami na, at di naman yata cost effective, saving on both windows and mac platforms...

[darksword_08]

dude sa windows platform wala prob yan sa mac di ko alam kasi incompatible yata sila

alam ko to transfer a mac base pic sa windows need mo pa ng converter or driver

or pwede mu gamitin yung Typhoon usb mac to windows yun derecho

make it 500gb para later di ka na na mgupgrade uli ng external HDD mo..

tapos ung HDD ko sa pc 1 80gb at 1 160gb os Winxpsp2

Hooking up a usb2 external hard drive to a Mac or pc? Yes, it's no problem. I hook up a number of external hard drives to both Windows pc's/laptops and my Mac Mini.

[Bogeyman]

I use a relatively small external hard disk (120GB). No problem plugging it into both Mac and PC using USB 2.0

Yun nga lang, kitang-kita yung hidden folders sa Mac OS. Kaya buking ang **** files.

How much ba ngayon external Hard Drive na 300 to 500gb?

[sherwinaval]

depende po sa klase ng hdd... 3.5 or 2.5 po ba? 8mb or 16mb cache? 5400, 7200, 10000k rpm? marami na po kasi pwede pagpilian. kung yung 2.5" na external hdd lang, just ask for the brand that is usually used by toshiba... yan din kasi gamit ko and for 3 years ok pa naman sya.

[mikaztro]

Iba pa ba iyan sa external na hard disk via usb na 40gb na binebentang P4k? Meron ba moving objects sa mga 300gb na external hdd?

[sherwinaval]

ang ibig ko po sabihin sa post ko sa taas e kung bibili kayo ng external hdd case na separate, pwede kayo mamili ng klase ng hdd. Pero meron din po mga external hdd's na branded like WD Passport, Seagate freeagent, Bufallo at marami pang iba.

[mikaztro]

Ah ok. Thanks for the info. I'm sorry for my ignorance kasi i'm not familiar sa mga bago at malalaking external drives. I also don't know how much they cost.

[sherwinaval]

if you're looking for one, you might have a look at this site TipidPC or PCTipid but careful ka rin

[mikaztro]

Thanks Sherwin.

welcome boss... always willing to help

Most likely you already know this. But, it's still worth mentioning.

Most external hard drives are formatted for Windows and with FAT32. My suggestion is leave it as is not because it's readable in both Windows and Mac (plus Linux). But, dvd players with Divx/jpg support can read them too.

I sometimes take my WD My Book (500gb) external hard drive and plug it in to the dvd player's usb port. It reads all the media files including the non-compatible ones. It just takes forever to read since my dvd player has a usb1 port.

If you intend to use it strictly as a backup device, you can reformat using the NTFS file system. I have 2 other external hard drives so formatted and the Mac reads/writes to them fine. Actually, I take that back. It's still read only for NTFS without 3rd party utilities.

Stick to FAT32.

[Horsepower]

Jun is right. Stick of FAT32. ;-)

there are 3rd party NTFS-writing enabler on OSX but it requires Linux programming knowledge.

Seagate freeagent and WD my book are not that expensive anymore, you can get a 500GB freeagent(usb connection only) for around 6K(bnew).

Yup.There's already terrabyte-sized external hard drives for sale.

I do prefer drives with multiple ports (USB2, Firewire with pass-through, eSATA) which cost a bit more.

i bought a 750 gig external hd USB to back up all my files...it cost me £60..mga P5k...
