I've got a decent Windows PC and a MacBook Po that I take with me when travelling. I download my photos daily to the MBP and the files, Catalogue and Previews are on a small portable FW800 or USB2 external drive. I also use the MBP at home as well as the PC for editing. The problemnis that I've got files in two places and I need to consolidate it to one fast FW800 /eSATA drive that can be connected and used on either machine.
Anyone doing this successfully and simply? I've looked at Software solutions to let the Windows machine read and write to the external drive but they look sketchy and the support from the two companies, MacDrive and Paragon HFS+, seems quite poor.
is one solution to format the External drive as FAT32 so both systems can read and write to it? The drive I'm hoping to use is a G-Raid 4TB which has FW800, USB2 and eSATA. The G-Raid drive would be backed up to two separate disks in the Windows PC.
Any other alternatives?
