Stupid question here, but does "Seagate Expansion USB 3.0 5TB Desktop External Hard Drive (STBV5000100) " also work with Mac? My wife has a PC laptop and I have a Macbook Pro and I'm interesting in adding this to our Airport Extreme Base Station so we can wirelessly backup photos and videos of our daughter in case of a hard drive crash.
I see that the drive supports PC; however, I don't see any mention of Mac OSX. Anyone know if it supports it? I would rather buy this than the Time Capsule, as this is higher rated and I can't bring myself to spend $300 on a hard-drive when perfectly good alternatives exist.
I've found other drives on Amazon stating that they are made for Mac... but now I'm wondering if I need a hard drive with separate formats to accomodate both Mac and PC. If it doesn't work stock, can I partition the hard drive with 1.5GB reserved in FAT32 for the PC and 1.5GB NTFS for the Mac?
