I want the 500gb seagate freeagent go portable hard drive but only see silver ones that say made for mac. Will this black one work? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...agate&lp=2&type=product&cp=1&id=1218007087840

Would I have to format for mac? And is that easy to do?

All externals will work with Mac but you have to format them (it's HFS+ if I remember correctly), just use Disk Utility

Very easy. Open Disk Utility and away you go.

So the computer does it on its own for the most part?
