Q: I work on Mac and PC. Would I be able to use this to move files from PC to Mac and from Mac to PC?
A: You would have to partition the drive and set one part aside for Mac the other for PC. If you primarily use MAC they make/offer a MAC formatted version. I have used them before on both types of systems but the formatting is different for the different operating systems and my understanding is you can't simply plug and play in both systems unless the drive is partitioned for that purpose. WD Discovery software that is included with the drive allows you to do this however. It also has some drive health/maintenance apps that are helpful in keeping the drive healthy. Cheers. :-)
Q: Will this work to back up videos and photos off a 2014 MacBook Air running on OSHigh Sierra?
A: Yes, it definitely should.
A: I don't know exactly how much it weighs, but it's only a few pounds because it literally fits in the palm of your hand. Great compact size!
A: I purchased the one specially for my MacBook
Q: can this work with the new iPhones XS?
A: No, this External HD is not compatible with iPhones XS.
Q: Is this compatible with a Ipad Pro?
A: Yes it is if you purchase the one specifically for macs
Q: I have a MacBook Pro with a type C USB, will this work directly or are adapters needed?
A: It comes with two cords - one with the usual USB high speed (the flat one with two sections that you're used to that attaches to the PHD) to a USB-A (the most common one). The other cord has a USB high speed to a USB-C. So it plugs directly into your new MacBook Pro. You can also use this cord for other PHDs that you have.
