It says:

Supporting OS

  • Microsoft Window XP / VISTA (32/64 bit) / 7 / 8
  • Mac OS (USB 2.0) 10.3x or later

Partition Format

  • NTFS for Windows
  • HFS+ for Mac OS


Nothing about Mac journaled format


Also , I looked at the manaul.

and the Mac instructions were strange, they showed a 4 TB as 500 GB with Mac Externded.
