Yes. If you reformat it. Macs don't write to NTFS (Windows file system) natively. (Though it will read it all day) You either need another program to enable this feature, or change a couple of settings in terminal. Use the disk utility to reformat the drive to HSF, or HSF+,and you'll be good to go. Just be aware that there's a second partition, otherwise you'll only reformat half the drive. It's not necessary to buy a drive that says Mac on it. They tend to be a little more expensive, for the same drive, when all you have to do is take the 2-3 minutes to reformat it.
