Yes, it was a same concern that I had when I had to decide to buy. I also have to use for both operations and didn't want to format.(And my main device is a Mac.) The answer is (as I figured out) if you go to Seagate website and download "Paragon program" for PC(Mac automatically works.), the PC recognises the external hard drive for Mac. I was told it's kinda unstable, so might need extra cautions, but working good.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It depends. If the drive is formatted on a MAC as a MAC partition, then Windows won't be able to write to it. I recommend that you download Tuxera NTFS for MAC and format the drive with the Windows NTFS format. That way you can use it on both platforms without an issue.
