WD NetCenter External Drive

Question

WD NetCenter External Drive

I hope this is the correct forum for this question.

I am looking at installing a Western Digital Ethernet Hard Drive on my network to support my G5iMac (10.4.2) my wife's G4 iBook (10.3.9) and a PC running Windows 2000. In looking at the WD support site it says that the drive uses a proprietary disk formnat that supports Windws, Linux and Macs.

Does anyone have any experience with this product? Are there any files size limitations to be concerned about? Will I need somethink like MacWindows for the PC?

The WD support site says the drive CANNOT be reformatted into FAT32, NTFS or Mac.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,

David

did you go with the wd setup for your network? im looking at implimenting the same WDXE3200JB on a similar setup- g5 imac, g4 powerbook (both are 10.4 though) and mini on a mix of wired/wireless, i hope bridging doesnt mess things up. were looking to do all manner of syncing, partial and full backups any insight you could give would be great.

thanks, matt
