Self Powered FireWire Drives that Boots OS X?
Can anyone recommend a Self Powered FireWire Drive that they use that they know Boots OS X.
I only need 80GB. Something like the SmartDisk Firelite FWFL80. Supposedly a firmware upgrade is needed, which I don't want do have to do. Want it to work out of the box. More questions: 1) If my backup takes say 50GB, can use the free space be used as a data drive? 2) If I partition the drive and backup to one (which will be bootable), can I use the second partition for data? 3) With two partitions, which is the one that boots? 4) Any way to backup two computers to the same disk? I would think only one backup can boot? Unless you can partition the drive and backup to each partition and then, somehow, choose the partition to boot from. |
