kNewton Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 i have a dell xps 420 with a 500gb drive and i am trying to decide if i want to purchase another internal drive or an external to serve as my 0SX disk. i like just swapping external drives from computer to computer, but i figure it would probably always be with this computer anyway. i have seen the set ups that allow you to plug in external drives as if they were thumb drive. do you know of any problems running OSX from an external drive? kNewton open apple closed apple Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/200831-formatting-issues/#findComment-1351064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
