“1. Will this one work with a Mac mini? 2. Will I have to format it or is it plug and play out of the box?”

• With this particular drive, if your Mac mini has a USB-C port then this drive should be able to work fine. Once you plug it in, there should be a window that opens with the contents of the drive and a "Start Here Mac" application icon you can click to install the necessary software.

• Yes, it will work but you will need a USB C to USB A adapter to connect to the Mac mini. Unless it is one of the newer ones that already hace USB C connections. It works plug and play. Only if you want it for Time Machine.
