I know the hard drives are swappable between computers (providing it has the same interface). My question though relates to formatted OS drives however.
I have two Mac Pro's (MacPro1,1 and MacPro3,1). Can I swap the drives between them without losing software or reformatting?
The reason I ask is with Windows, it seems to build the system around a specific motherboard configuration. Were you to replace the motherboard in that system, Windows will crash on bootup due to different kernel level drivers on the hard drive.
The reason I'm asking is because I like the way I have everything setup on my MacPro1,1, but want to get the speed boost from the MacPro3,1.
Will this work or will I require a clean format of both drives when I swap them.
Thanks!
