• Yes, this particular one needs to be formatted for MacOS Sierra. WD has the one for Mac. My first one is for Mac. But formatting it for Mac is simple. Just follow the Mac format instructions.

• Use Disk Utilities to format hard drive to use with Mac--very easy to do. Very clear instructions on WD: https://support.wdc.com/knowledgebase/answer.aspx?h=p1&ID=3865&lang=en&p=236#elcapitan
