will this work out of the box with a macbook pro? needs reformatting?
will this work out of the box with a macbook pro? will i need to reformat to use? if so, is that a complicated process and will i be better off buying the 2tb mac version?
This HD will work with a MAC but yes, it will need to be reformatted. It's actually a very easy process. Plug in the HD. Go into applications, utilities, then disk utility. You'll see the HD listed on the left side of the window. Click it. When you do you will some tabs to the right. Go to the tab that says erase. There will be a drop down menu where you will select what format you want. Chose the one for MAC and then click format. You can also choose FAT32 format which will allow you to use the HD on both MAC and PC but there are pros and cons to doing that. Hope this helped, if not, try YouTube
