As part of my switch over to Mac, I'm looking to use a series of external hard drives attached to my MB Unibody running Snow Leopard. I currently have 2 x 1TB HDD inside my Windows XP based PC that contain only photos and my iTunes library - no operating system. I also have 2 x 1 TB HDD internal drives sitting outside the box which I mount on one of those toaster style boxes to backup the internal HDD's. In addition, I have 2 x 1TB new/never used 1TB HDD's. I'm thinking of getting a 2 or 4 bay enclosure to connect some of the HDD's to my Macbook. A few questions....
1. Do the existing 1 TB HDD's need to be re-formatted before I can hook them up to the MB for read and write ?
2. Do the unused HDD's need to be reformatted before using them with the MB?
3. Will the MB "get along" with something like:

?
Thanks in advance for your help
