You see the only difference between a “Mac hard drive” and a “Windows PC hard drive” is the file system.

Well people, if you ever happen to see a good deal on a “Mac hard drive” yet you are a Windows users do not pass up on the deal. I say “successful” because by reading the posts made by some people, Best Buy (and/or Western Digital) has effectively convinced people people this external hard drive is a proprietary Mac hard drive and will not work on a Windows PC… as if Mac and Windows PC use different hardware (ha-ha). I had to chuckle at the obvious (yet successful) marketing at work here. Turns out Best Buy is selling a 1 TB “Mac” Western Digital My Book for $65 (you can get it for $58 with 10% off coupon). Naturally I jumped when I read that and decided to get more info. I was roaming SlickDeals as I usually do and came across a post about a 1 TB USB external hard drive going for $65 (!).
