A: Yes, the drive works great with my Windows 10. It is loaded with pictures and no problem. So far I'm very pleased and would recommend this HD.
A: No... one or the other. I tried it and had to erase the Xbox content so I could use it on my sons ps 4
A: I would not recommend it for a Mac user. It requires a special WD driver even after reformatting for a Mac. If reformatting is not done in a specific way, the drive can become unusable. It is not a simple plug and play solution by any stretch of the imagination.
