Description from the creator

Want to format a hard drive for Mac and PC compatibility? You have to set it up correctly before getting starting. Mac OS Journaled is the formatting option for Mac and NTFS or MS-Dos is the formatting option for PC.

But to get a hard drive to be compatible with both Mac and PC, you have to choose the exFAT formatting options.
Fat32 is another option, but it limits file transfer to 4GB, so choose exFat when formatting your drive.

For Mac, format your drive under disk utility.
For PC, format your drive under disk management.
