Best hfs Solution for Windows
I am considering an external HD. Would stick with WD and save $15, but noticed that Seagate offers free hfs+ drivers for Windows.
I want an hfs+ drive for use with iMovie etc, but want to reserve the option to plug it in to someone elses Windows box if I have to transfer files (I work and live in a mixed platform environment). I figure I can have the drive hfs, and then if need be, I can go to someone else's system, install the free Seagate hfs drivers, and be cross compatible. Does anyone have experience with the Seagate for Mac drives (which the Seagate website claims its sw works with) and these drivers? (BTW the Seagate drivers don't work on an hfs formatted WD drive, already tried it.)
Or is there a reliable, free, third-party solution to read/write access to hfs on Windows boxes?
