If you're going to use it on a PC don't use Mac format. FAT32 (I think
that's the newer format) should work and I suspect that Mac OS X ought
to allow you to format it as such.
PS I'm not 100% sure that 2.5" laptop drives will fit in a larger
enclosure (if you're pulling a laptop drive). Check with the sales
girl just to be on the safe side.
