Hi,
I'm looking at a WD My Book Essential to backup my Mac and PC. I'll connect my Mac via USB 2, and PC via USB 3 (When I get a cheap PCI card).
It states on the website it's NTFS Formatted, so would need to be re-formatted to work on Mac.
However, I have Paragon NTFS installed on my Mac, which I believe is a driver for NTFS Drives.
So now my question is; Will I be able to use Time Machine to backup my Mac, and use the HDD to backup my PC? I'd also like to store a couple of misc. files on there, the odd movie etc, so can I make 2 or 3 partitions, so they don't "overlap".
I don't know how specific this will be to this HDD, so sorry if I'm too vague
Thanks,
Joseph Duffy
