A: I have used both Seagate and Western a digital drive. They both work seamlessly with any Mac OS from OS 8 and above. Also you can switch between Mac and PC as long as they are files - not Exe files on Windows. Everything else should work like MS Office, Adobe, etc. The only thing I can't do is transfer or read CADD files (like Bently, Autodesk, etc.)
Q: Does this include a USB-C cable to connect to a recent model MacBook Pro?
A: There is NOT a cable in the box with my disk even though one is pictured and even though it lists a USB 3.0 cable in the Contents list on the box.
Q: will this hard drive work with both a Mac and pc?
A: This hard drive will work with either Mac or PC.
A: Yes. As long as the files are compatable on both machines (.exe files don't work on Mac, but .jpeg .tiff etc, work fine)
Q: Why isn't the drive speed listed?
A: 5200 RPM
Q: Can I just plug this into my Mac’s usb?
A: Yes you can and the MAC should recognize it and link to your Time Machine app. That's all I had to do and I'm nowhere near technologically inclined.
A: It's all located on the hard dive, or at least it was for me. Just plug it into your computer and you'll see!
Q: Will this hard drive work with Windows 10 on a Dell I-3 computer?
A: Yes, this product will work with Windows 10 on your Dell model.
