[Avid-L2] Re: Paragon NTFS

It's interesting how it works. For the most part, it appears and operates just like Unity. Right down to sharing within the project.

With the Multi write function, Terrablock serves up the drives as network drives. So Macs and PCs don't see formatting. However, you need to actually format the drive at some point, and as long as you do it NTFS, it is handled by the server without issue. If you wanted to format the HFS, the server has to have the latest version of MacDrive installed so it can handle the formatting.

You would only need this if you planned to change the drive from multi write to a regular drive at some point. So you might not need Mac Drive after all.

Of course, in the real world clients bring in drives of all flavors so having MacDrive on your edit systems might be a necessity as it is in our universe.
