it works with both simultaneously, I have not needed to partition the drive at all. I was thinking, like you, that I may need to do that, but no, the setup is simple and will back up multiple machines--any mix of PCs or Macs.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I can be used by both at the same time, including Android and iOS devices. Im not sure what type of file system it uses, but it is compatible with both systems. Best Buy Mobile and Connectivity Specialist, Kraig

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.- If you access it over the network then it can be used by Windows / Mac / Linux simultaneously. - The actual internal filesystem is EXT4, but it is presented via Samba as NTFS. - Internally, this is a Linux appliance.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The system can be used with Mac and PC at the same time. That is the way I use it. The file system is NTFS which is also recognized by Mac. The use of FAT32 is not recommended and reformatting with Mac only will preclude using if with PCs.
