Hey everyone,

I have a question about Time Machine: Can I use the external drive that I use for Time Machine also as a regular drive for other files and videos, etc? Or is it strictly for Time Machine?

Thanks!
 
You can put everything on. TM will use all the free space available and start to scream if your hard disk runs out of space.

Maybe a dedicated TM partition is good to have.
