I've purchased dozens of these drives for clients and they work great. Besides being portable and well-priced, I have not had one go bad yet in 3 years (including the original "Toshiba Connect" series as well). I am using them all on Macs running from Mac OS X 10.6 through 10.10 Yosemite with not problems.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Apple - MacBook Air® - 13.3" Display - Intel Core i5 - 4GB Memory - 128GB Flash Storage - Silver
MacBook Air features fifth-generation Intel Core processors with stunning graphics, all-day battery life*, ultrafast flash storage, and great built-in apps. It's thin, light and durable enough to take everywhere you go — and powerful enough to do everything once you get there.
 
Great bargain for a fast and light Mac! Love it!

This is a perfect laptop for basic email and web browsing! I only want to do very minimal browsing and organizing of photos, this does fine. Upgrade to the 8GB model for editing photos or doing any more intense work, like Word, Excel, Photos, Pages, Keynote, etc... The extra RAM makes a world of difference, splurge for the i7 processor or the MacBook Pro series if you need more power.

Can I use 1 device for a Mac & PC?

I have a Mac & a PC that I need to backup. I can I use 1 of these devices for both at the same time or do I have to get 1 devices?
Your answer is YES but not as well or easily... The Mac's Time Machine software requires the drive use the Mac OS Extended, while Windows will want the drive to use FAT32 or NTFS. The Mac can use FAT32, as can Windows, however you would possibly be limited to some issues, like files over 4GB can't be stored on a FAT32 format, which would generally be disk images, large video files or could be various types of large formats. And there are sometimes issues with file names being too long or having incompatible characters or formatting.

So the answer is yes, if you don't have any of the conflicting issues, you may be able to find either bundled or other backup software for either or both Mac and Windows that can backup to a single drive in FAT32 format. However, I would recommend using separate drives for best compatibility, especially if you have a lot of stuff to backup. If its just some documents and a few photos from each, then sharing should't be too troublesome. Good luck!
