I bought a 128GB SSD drive, only to learn that a Mac could not write to it.

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! > To leave the list, click on the immediately following link: > ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > If this link doesn't work then send a message to: > ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > and in the Subject line type > unsubscribe > For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the > immediately following link: > ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq or send a message, to > ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and in the Subject line type faq > PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
