Can I use both USB and firewire ports concurrently in an external drive ?
Hi,
I have two computers and one external hard disk. The external disk is a WD Caviar in a C-309 aluminum enclosure with two ports: 1 Firewire and 1 USB 2.0. I would like to connect the external drive to both computers concurrently. Do you think that's possible ? I think most likely it is not but I am not sure. Maybe the firmaware is smart enough to handle that ... I don't know. Thank you for your attention ! mau. |
