guys i hope somebody could help me with this problem:
i have a desktop pc with 4 hard drives full of data now the pc gone kaput and since i have a macbook now i don't need to use it anymore i'm planning to get a NAS so that i can use all the hard drives that i have wirelessly with my macbook if i insert those hard drives into the NAS, can i still use the data (the hard drives are formatted as NTFS using windows 7 that is my previous desktop setup) or will it be formatted and become a newly erased HDD?
