My Book Essential PC for Mac

i’m Mac-user and planning to buy My Book Essential for PC because it is in sale right now.

I think i only need “Password protection and hardware encryption” feature.

Can i use password/encryption in my Mac even it is PC version and is it Spotlight and Time Machine compatible?

Thanks

Hi dude!!

I don’t know about Spotlight, but it is compatible with TM, however, you will need to make sure the drive is unlocked at the moment TM needs to make a backup, or it won’t find the drive.

All you need to do is to format it and then it works on your Mac with all of its features.
