Sorry if this question has been answered somewhere before but I couldn't get a clear answer.
I'm still thinking to move most computers to Mac over the next few months in my house but it won't happen all at once and there will still be a need to keep some Windows systems (on one Mac for my current Photoshop license and a Win XP or 7 PC for some work related stuff and to run Access) around.
For one of my backup/data drives I'm currently using a WD MyBook network drive (NAS I think but doesn't require any of the old special software and just shows up as a regular network drive). People have criticized those but I'm actually happy with it and would be setting up one or two more over time. Those come formatted as NTFS and I'd like to keep it that way.
Can I still access that drive from a Mac (read and write) because it's a network drive? Or will OS X have issues because it's formatted NTFS?
