A:AnswerYes as long as both computers can read it. For Apple and PC use EX FAT as formatting. for system images like Time machine. not for different operating systems like Apple and Windows. Apple uses Journaled for this and Windows wont read it. you may partition this drive to work on both though.Just use different formats.
A:AnswerGo to “Disk Utilities”—found either inside the “Launchpad”, or in your “Dock.” Click on the “Utilities” icon. It will display more icons, in alphabetical order. Click on “Disk Utilities” when it launches, it’ll display all disks connected, and/or Internal. (There’ll be two of each: The drive itself, and any other formatted segment, in hierarchical order). Find the drive by its (technical) name. Click on the top hierarchical icon, when it displays, move the arrow to the horizontal menu, over the display (the App’s, not the Mac’s). It’ll say: First Aid; Partition; Erase; Mount; etc...; DO THE FOLLOWING: 1- Click “First Aid” (run it, just to ensure the new drive is in fact, as it should); When done: 2- (There will be two choices you must make: a. The WD has its own partitioning software—but it is not necessarily a “must.” Myself, I prefer to copy those existing files, to a USB Stick, (just in case you later change your mind); 3- Once you’ve copied it elsewhere, Click “Erase;’ (You’ll be given choices whether the “1-Pass”; “7-Pass”; or “35-Pass”, (the latter, being the deepest erase you can have; it is also the one which takes the longest). Once the erasing is done— 4- Click on “Partition,” and decide how much of the drive you wish to have formatted, or not; 5- (If you Choose more than 1 partition; within the drive’s constraints, name them; 6- Depending on the level of flexibility, portability, and compatibility with other Devices you’ll need from this drive, You must choose which Kind of Formatting you wish; 7- Once chosen, follow the directions to their completion. Hope this helps. A NOTE: IF you’re a new Mac User, I’d recommend keeping “K.I.S.S.” in mind, follow it according to your skill level. Macs have inherently very sophisticated device features—not all of which are advisable for newbies—thence my KISS warning. Best of Luck.
A:AnswerSince this is a USB connection, this will work just fine with XBOX One. It's also tiny enough so it wont take up space.
The hard drive relies on a USB connection for power (ex. Turn the XBox on, the external drive comes on. Turn off XBox, drive turns off. Nice feature so the drive is not constantly running 24/7)
You might have to format the drive for the XBox, if so, it is extremely simple. You can find step by step videos on YouTube by searching "xbox one external hard drive setup."
