Partitioned External Drives

Post by Weekendshooter »

Hello Folks,

The last external drive (fw 400 & usb 2.0) I built was a 120gb, formatted it with FAT16 and been happily using it shuttling between Wintel (XP & SP2) and Mac (G4 PB & 10.3.9) platforms.

It's time for another shuttle drive and I can get a 200gb cheaper than a 120gb but understand there's a 137(?) gb limit on the partion size. I still need to work with both Wintel and Mac so I guess I'm stuck with FAT16 still.

Have folks out there had good luck with partioned external shuttle drives?

Simply checking... TIA,

Andy
