hello everyone,
i am posting this here because video editiors and animators i think might be here.
i just got a second WD My Book Pro. I am planning to use the old one as a bin for my backups and other stuff and dedicate the second one for video editing and animation
i excercise Avid editing as a hobby and do After Effects a lot.
i want to use both Tiger and XP
so, do u advice my to partition the second drive to 1 HFS+ and 1 NTFS partitions. will this affect the speeds due to partitioning.
or
format one drive as HFS+ and the second as NTFS. In this case, i will be using both drives for backups normal storage, will this affect the speeds?
i want to go for the first one as i only have only one FW800 port on my iMac and i dont like switching cables.
thanks.
