Q: Do I need any accessories to make this work?

A: All you need to do is plug the drive into a USB port on your MAC and it will work just fine, like any external storage. I didn't use any special "accessories" ...just plugged it into the back of my iMac and I was good to go.

Q: Does this hard drive work interchangeably on Windows and Mac computers? or does it need reformating to work on PC?

A: No, it will not work interchangeably on Windows and Mac computers, it will only work on Mac.
