Do they make external hard drives that are compatible with Windows 7 and OS X?
by gorgonogrog on March 25, 2013Q: hi there ! i am looking to get an external hard drive that i can use on both my windows seven pc ad my macbook pro osx 10.5.8 so my question is if i get a hardrive that is compatible with osx 10.6 will i be able to use it on my mac?
Yes they do. But it is a bit more complicated than just buying a drive. If you buy a normal external drive that is compatible with Windows there are several pieces of software you can install on the Mac OS X that will support the NTFS read and write options for a Windows HDD.
