Hard drives and memories are for general use. You just need to check out the size to know if its for laptop or desktop. So, yes. It works for Mac and PC.

I am no expert but my experience is that you can format any drive to be compatible with MAC and PC by using the correct format.If using some MAC formats, the PC cannot recognize it and using a PC format my mac can read but not write.NTFS will work fine with both MAC and PC i.e. you can read and write from either

macs can read and write to pc hards drives but need to be formated in fat32 i think. i have a pc hard drive that is split for time machine and as a backup. my pc hard drives i can read them but cant write since they are in wrong format. but those hard drives if i wanted could be reformatted so i can write to them.

I have it running great on my MacBook Pro. Haven't tried it on PC. I believe it has both versions on disk, but I cannot confirm this.

What computer and OS do you have? It is quite simple HDD To use I had mine for 3 years now. I will help you if I can but I need to know whether you on windows or mac?

I think the question is does the drive come preformated for Mac or PC or do you have to format it for either OS and setup two partitions if you want to use it across platforms.

I talked about this in my review, actually, as my hd didn't come with the driver.. You have to install the driver in order for it to work on the mac unless you want time machine to reformat it for you (but then it won't work on a PC). There's also this link.. http://blog.nolar.info/ntfs-3g-in-mac-os-x-lion-10-7-with-read-write-support/ Hope that helps..

Yes, the drive is compatible with a Mac, you'd just have to reformat the drive for the Mac file system, not a big deal to do though.

I have this exact hard drive - purchased it this weekend. It needs to be formatted FAT 32. It works perfectly with my Mac and PC.

It is USB 2.0 standard compliant. It will take a SATA II/III or IDE drive. If you Mac has USB 2.0 standard ports, then, if your drive is SATA II/III or IDE, it will work.

I don't know about from a PC, but from a Mac, you can't do anything special! That's my big disappointment with this product - it's advertised as Mac-compatible but it is only for the most basic functions.

you can get any external drive ..... for it to work properly on a mac the first thing you will have to do is format it to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" then every thing will go smooth if you are using a mac only.

I am using this external drive on a PC; sorry I can't say if it will work with a Mac. KAY

You would have to find a way to get the hard drive to work for both a Mac and a PC before anything. Then i believe if the pictures are in some type of JPEG format it shall work.
