Well, they are what you call NAS,(Network attached Storage) devices; basically, external hard drives with an ethernet port to connect to your router..that way, anyone who has access to your network can also access the files..and yes, they were originally formatted as NTFS hard drives, so that has not changed...I can read the files, write to those drives, and they were INSTANTLY recognized when I hooked up the new Mac machines!
Apple is no longer a "forbidden" fruit; I bet if 20 of our "buddies" here tried a Mac machine for more than a day or 2, 18 of them would switch immediately..
You gotta love the fact that there are NO MORE BLUE SCREENS, REGISTRY PROBLEMS, and REBOOTS!
I swear, I just reboot this thing every 10 days or so, just because I think I should...
Glad to help you out; there are lots of great resources out there, so, the more you read about these things, the more amazing stuff you find out you can do!
