Does this flash drive work with both PC and Mac files?

I have a Mac computer & it works on my Mac. I bought this flash drive for my daughter & her school uses PC computers. She is able to use it for both types of computers. We have not seen any problem with it.

Yes, but accessing the data will depend on how the drive is formatted. I think (you'll have to check) the drive comes formatted in NTSF. For use with both PC and Mac, you'll have to re-format the drive in something like FAT 23. Both Mac and PC should recognize the drive, but FAT 23 has file size limitations.

Yes. If you format the drive to NTFS, the PC will be able to write and read the drive, and the Mac will be able to read it (but not write to it). Your best bet, if you want to be able to read and write on both PC and Mac, format the drive in exFAT (NOT FAT32, since this is an outdated file type).

I am no expert but my experience is that you can format any drive to be compatible with MAC and PC by using the correct format.If using some MAC formats, the PC cannot recognize it and using a PC format my mac can read but not write.NTFS will work fine with both MAC and PC i.e. you can read and write from either

Not as far as I can tell. I have a Creative Labs Zen Nano Plus. It is a flash player and so far, I can drop and drag files from my Mac into it and it seems to work fine. I bought it because it has a pretty good voice recorder and a line in recording function (can record from cassette players etc and converts to mp3 without computer). All seem to work fine with my Mac. But none of the files that are on the CD-ROM are Mac friendly. I don't know if this will be true with this 8 GB player, since it is a hard drive player. If it will work, there are some sweet deals on it and it seems like it is a very cool player. If anyone knows if these hard drive players will show up on a Mac as hard drive and you can still drop and drag files and then play them, please let us know. Thanks.

I use it on Mac and windows. it is best to "eject" the flash drive before removing it in order to prevent data corruption. you shouldn't have a problem safely removing the drive while the computer is on

Yes, this drive will work with a Mac that does not have a FireWire port if you use Apple's Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter.

Hi. This is a USB device. Search in Google to see if there is any software that runs on MAC. This specific unit came with a software for Windows/PC version.ThanksJanio

I am using linux and it works fine. It should recognize it like any usb flash media. I haven't hooked it up to a Mac yet. The only problem I can imagine a Mac having would be having to convert the files from WMA format.

This drive comes formatted to work with a Mac. You would have to reformat it to work with a PC.

Yes! It will certainly work with a Mac. Macs can read "PC" format or you can easily use the Mac's Disc Utility to quickly reformat it in Mac Journaled format if you desire the superior performance that it provides. I don't know of any mass storage (i.e.: hard drive, usb drive) that does not work equally well on a Mac.

I would think so I have not heard of any problems where a flash drive would not work on a Mac once it was used on a windows computer.

Yeah I have a mac and used it. If you want to be able to use it and switch between a mac and a pc, format it. Here's some directions. I did this because I gave this usb to someone full of music as a Christmas present. http://www.ehow.com/how_5795930_format-usb-drive-mac-pc.html

yes, the device in general is USB so it will interface. It will depend on the format of the drive as to how it is accessible. MAC can read NTFS, so your friend shouldn't have a problem. But yes it will work fine for both. The software that come with it can be downloaded for either pc or mac

I use it with no problems on Windows 8 machines, Mac's and older windows versions. Was the drive setup for use on a Mac by any chance?

I use PC's and my son uses a MAC and he had no problem with it when I download photos on the flash drive and give it to him. Good luck

This Drive is NTFS formatted so it will not work on MAC. For MAC system you will need either FAT32 or MAC journal formatted.
