You can transfer over the network, my mac can connect to my PC with no problems, it is the other way where I usually have problems.

The EHD is a great idea. If it is mostly music and small files it works fine. If the EHD is formated as FAT (or FAT 32) both the Mac and PC can read it, the ONLY downfall is that no file over 4 GB can go on a FAT formatted drive. If you don't have that issue, go for an EHD that way you always have your music backed up. That is my 2 cents.
