I always thought that hard drives were universal. I have an external hard drive, though not an SSD one, that can work with both Mac and PC operating systems. The way I know this is because one of my first audio laptops was a Mac. Though my experience with it was not successful, as I later found out that it was just your average Mac, which I bought from the Mac Store in Eugene, Oregon, and I didn't know that it wasn't optimized for audio production. -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kevin Gibbs Sent: Sunday, August 05, 2012 12:49 AM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] SSD drives to which a Mac can't write Guys, I had a very disappointing experience today. I bought a 128GB SSD drive, only to learn that a Mac could not write to it. It was bad enough that I couldn't find an SSD drive with FireWire ports, but to find a drive that could only be written to buy a Windows computer? This was absolutely unacceptable. Does anyone know of an SSD drive with FireWire ports that can be used by a Mac? Sent from my iPhone PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
