I just got a new 500gig maxtor external HDD and I'm in the process of switching from a pc to mac. I want to take all of my movies, music, and various other data with me to use on my mac when I get it.

Problem is I don't know if I can use my external HDD on windows and move all of my media on to it and plug and go with my Mac or if I have to do it another way.


I'd rather not write a bunch of DVDs just to transfer the data onto the harddrive via my mac so is there an easier way to do it?

can you read/write from both a mac and pc on an external harddrive.


Would my best bet just be to hook up the external hdd to my mac and transfer all of my data over my network at my house?


thanks for any help you can provide.
