Seagate Slim 500 GB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive for Mac

I actually have a Windows, and had to convert this hard drive to be compatible with it. To convert this, you have to go to the Seagate website and download the driver for Windows, connect the drive, install the software, and re-start computer. Yes, this part of the process is kind of time-consuming, though when it's finally formatted it works well. The booklet that comes along with the driver has a cute illustration of connecting the portable hard drive and computer through the USB cable, and multi-language instructions for re-formatting the hard-drive for use with Windows, as well as publishing/sharing/saving content to social media websites. A USB adapter/cable is included in the package, and the product has a limited warranty. The portable hard drive is indeed slim and pretty light, and appears to be of good quality.
