What's great about it: Tons of storage that's fast
What's not so great: Some (old Dell Dimension 2400) systems don't see it after reboot and need it unplugged and plugged back in.
I bought one of these drives around a year ago and just recently bought another. They are very fast drives (USB 3.0) with options for other connection types (Firewire, Thunderbolt) available (sold separately). Of course they are also USB backwards compatible. I've used them in Windows XP, 7, 8, & 8.1 as well as Ubuntu Linux. They are Mac compatible as well. And who doesn't love 3TB of space for Movies, Photos, Music and now mine are redundant and I am happy with them.
This product has... Reliable, Fast, Attractive design/portable, Quiet, Large capacity/good size
About me... Budget Conscious, Technology guru, Work with large multimedia files, Gamer, Business Professional, Need a simple backup solution
I would recommend this to a friend!
Compatible with...:PC

I use photoshop on both mac and pc to edit photos... thus I am interested in Mac os.X and Win utilization without formatting ! Possible?

Seagate offers an NTFS driver for MAC that would allow use on both without formatting. http://www.seagate.com/support/external-hard-drives/desktop-hard-drives/backup-plus-desk/ntfs-driver-for-mac-os-master-dl/

How Can i use the thunderbolt cable to connect with my mac?

the thunderbolt cable obviously fits on the macbook but do you need to buy a separate adapter for the other side of the cable where it connects to the external hard drive ?
The bottom of the drive with the USB3 port comes off and you have to buy and attach one of these Thunderbolt adapters (model: STAE129): http://www.bestbuy.com/site/seagate-thunderbolt-adapter/6691933.p?id=1218780228000&skuId=6691933
