Is it like a flash drive that can be used on a Mac or PC?

It's exactly like a portable hard drive. The difference is,it's solid state and has no moving parts.

it can be used on both, and I'm not sure if I get you right (is it like a flash drive) if you mean functionality yes its, but from size point of view its much bigger than flash usb and for me its not practical to use in same way as flash drive (this is my point of view) I use it for backup.

In a way yes except you don't directly hook it up to the computer. It has a cord that connects it to the computer. But its really small, compact, comes with a nice little case and is easy to store. I really like it, works great for me :)

Any USB drive can. With a proviso: They come from amazon and other stores preformatted as FAT32. This format is recognized by all modern OSes. However if you format it on your mac to the MAC OS format then windows will think it is blank and ask to reformat it.ON both the MAC and PC you can chose to format any USB drive as 'FAT32'. Bottom line. Yes. don't worry lol

If you mean with Mac OS X/Macintosh, then kind of--a Mac will be able to mount it as a readable drive, but you probably won't be able to write files to it and then read them later. Files need to be written in some kind of DOS or DSC format, it looks like. (To mount it, you'll need either the SD slot in the side of your laptop, or an external USB slot reader.)

I wouldn't know about windows 8 - don't know why it wouldn't be either...I do know that (and this is probably true for all flash drives) it has troubles going back and forth between mac and pc a lot. Apparently I abuse my flash drives, but I've tried to be better about ejecting them safely.

Yes. Just need to format it in a format thats appropriate for Windows. Like exFAT. There are some formats that will be read/write for both Mac/Window. These will be most versatile

I use PC not MAC. You could use this hard drive, however, WD support for MAC is not the best. I would suggest Seagate, Hitachi, or Samsung as they provide better support. You may also need to download additional drivers no matter which Hard drive you choose. I also suggest you check our ZDNET's recent article on the Best Hard Drives.

Sounds like the PC doesn't have USB 2.0, so that would cripple USB speed.Most any "current" USB drive will work on both Mac and PC as the "standard" format is FAT -- and older Windows format that can be read and written "out of the box" by recent Mac OS X versions.

I don't have a Mac but all Flash Drives are or should be compatible. It's just the way you format it.

Yes, you should be just fine. Just dont format your usb, or else all of your data will be wiped. Your mac should be able to use the usb just as fine as windows would

No and it is not good on the Internet. You can use a USB had or thumb drive but t It doesn't do much else.

Yes. Just dl the the file from the windows pc (via the USB), then plug the FlashDrive into the apple pc (via the USB), and upload the file. Easy-peasy.

I honestly do not know if this drive is Mac compatible. It was such a waste of money and a piece of garbage it hardly even worked for PC. What I can tell you is this drive: Samsung Ultra Portable Slim DVD+/-RW USB External Drive, Black SE-218BB/RSBS IS Mac Compatible and works awesome on PC and Mac and Linux. Its a bit more money, but it really is worth it. Dont even bother with the one for your question, its not worth 1$.

The box states Portable USB Drive for Apple MacBook. There is a website mentioned on the box g-technology.com/support for help on this product.

This is just a basic generic "case" for a pc laptop style cd-rom/dvd-rom the mac book should recognize the usb device just fine. I've bought inexpensive generic drives and name brand drives - all have worked with my Mac.

I don't have a Mac but I have had no problem using it on my PC. I just plug it in and it does what I want it to do. Maybe it can't go between the two.

Just use the provided USB cable and connect it to any PC, ( Mac too , i believe ),... and it would work like a regular flash drive, browse the folders till you find the desired video. Usually my videos are time coded, so i know what video is that im looking for. You can time code your videos on your settings menu.

No, I don't think you can. These drives are usually either for a Mac or PC and not interchangeable. I don't know of any that you could use for the purpose you want. Have you looked into something like Carbonite? There are others like this out there. This is a remote program to store your files and then you can get them from anywhere. You could look into this. It takes quite a while to save your files initially but then works in the background after that. Congrats for switching to a Mac. There is a learning curve but I'm sure, in the end, you will be glad you did!
