From a professional stand-point, it SHOULD work as long as you don't upload a bunch of porn on it
Don't pay extra
You can buy any external HD back-up and pay $30 less by selecting one that doesn't say Apple/MAC on it. Then just reformat the drive and voila you're all set. I used a Seagate Free Agent 250 to migrate my files from PC to MAC then when I was done I reformatted and now use it with Time Machine as my external back-up. Thank you to the Best Buy guy that recommended this (wherever you are).

Yes, it will work. The 320's are now the best bang for the buck. You

Since all HD's will work with Macs, and can be reformatted if being used as boot volumes, I never understood the point of charging more for a "Mac" version... it's the exact same hardware. In fact, Fat32 formatted HD's will work as data drives with Macs, although unless you ever intend to swap it back and forth with a Windows machine, I'd change it to MacOS journaled extended...
To OP: glad it's working right for you... (the Seagate 500g 7200 drive)
