With all of them organized on the same tree, it is easy for the system and user to navigate up and down the tree and manage files. This comprises not only the files and folders on the drive itself, but also other hard drives and network resources that are attached to the system. In essence, you can envision this boot-drive setup as being like a tree that branches out from the system "root" to include all aspects of the filesystem. ![]() Ultimately, hard-drive storage is just a mount point on the system, which means that the directory tree of the drive is rooted in a specified folder on the boot drive (the "root" filesystem), so it has a file path through which you can access its contents from the boot drive. While this is convenient for single-user machines, there may be instances where on a system with multiple users you may wish to limit access to a drive. Additionally, you can attach numerous USB or FireWire hard-drive systems to any Mac if needed, to give it additional storage capacity. While the only Mac systems that have user-accessible drive bays are Apple's Mac Pro line, some systems such as the Mac Mini and iMac have options to include multiple hard drives.
