Appropriate Backup drive for Mac Laptop

Can I use Seagate Backup Plus Portable drive with MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)?

I am having trouble ejecting it before disconnecting. Also, I cannot see devices in the sidebar of Finder.

Thank you

MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.11

For the sidebar issue, open Preferences on the Finder menu, then click Sidebar at the top of the Preferences window and put a check mark in front of External Disks in the Locations section.
