Do you use a fixed hard drive for data storage that is shared between both OSs?

Have *you* had any experience with Kingwin > brand, perchance? Not with this brand. I don't live in the US and what we get here are no-name brand Chinese imports. That being said, we haven't struck a bad one yet. Looking at that site, what is pictured is very much like what we've been using, and it is as though they've using the same patent design. What I do like about that site is they offer the "tray only" inserts for $8.99 apiece. Where we've been getting them from, we have to purchase both the tray insert and housing together at the same time. This is OK until you fill up your computer's bays. After that you really only need the inserts. This to me, is a great offer. I wouldn't hesitate trying them out at these prices. -- dee
