Hi,
I've been reading quite a few threads on external HDD's / USB vs. Firewire & NAS.....and frankly, I'm a little confused. I'm after a storage device that I can access from both my MBP & a windows pc. I'd like to use it to backup my MBP & to have iTunes served(stored) from it. I want to buy a 750GB HDD.
I have an Airport Extreme Base Station(AEBS) and was wondering if I should buy one that connects via USB or can I connect it via ethernet to the AEBS. Would this work for access from both my MBP & windows pc and I could I use it to host iTunes ?
Any suggestions much appreciated. Yours in confusion.
