A: Yes, I have a MacBook Pro running El Capitan Version 10.11.4 (15E65) and it works great. I created two partitions on the drive and use one for a Time Machine backup while the other stores my Photos and iTunes library. The drive itself is very small and quiet. Highly recommended.
A: You can store anything on this hard drive that has the ability to be copied and pasted, which means that you can save documents and PDF files in addition to photos, movies, music, etc.
A: yes, without a problem.
A: You can only use it exclusively for a Mac or exclusively for windows. Otherwise you'll have to reformat it and you'll lose all your files.
