GUID vs. APM partition scheme question
I'm gonna be working on a G5 system and bringing hard drives with me. Is it correct that only APM partitioned drives will record with a G5 and GUID formatted drives will fail?
OK, if so, is there any downside when bringing an APM partitioned drive to an Intel mac? Am I better off formatting the drive GUID and simply use it as a transfer drive (no recording to the drive)? THIS DRIVE WILL NEVER be a boot drive, NEVER have an operating system on it. Data only. Is there a BENEFIT to having the drive as GUID? Is there a down side to having the drive as APM (working on intel) ? Does it matter -- should I just cover my ass and format as APM and keep working? Never really thought about this before -- since I never tried to record to an external drive.... Thx in advance for the guidance. J
