1 1/2 questions: Can I store data from a PC as well on the Mac external drive? Does this come with its own storage pouch??
I have a MacBook Pro and will use the WD 1TB to store files. I also want to know if I can store files from a PC.
I want to know if this comes with its own pouch.
This model HDD did not come with a storage pouch. When I travel, it is small enough to fit into a pocket on my laptop case.
The model comes in a Mac (HFS+) version and a Windows (MS DOS) version.
Macs can read and write to/from Windows-formatted media but Windows cannot read or write to/from Mac-formatted media.
If you need to read and write both Mac and Windows files to/from the same HDD, the HDD must be formatted using MS-DOS.
