QuestionIs there any difference between this product and the "black" version? The description is identical. Thanks

- Answer This version comes pre-formatted with HFS+ for OS X systems while the the black on comes pre-formatted with NTFS for Windows. You can buy the black one and format it for use on OS X or you can buy this one and format it for use on Windows. I hope that makes sense!
