I see no reason why you can't because you purchase the same drive to put in 
a Mac as a PC.  I do not know for certain whether it would need to be 
reformatted (initialized).  Anybody else know that?  I suspect it would just 
plug-and-play because you can access PC drives over the network just fine. 
My suspicion is probably worth about what I charged to put it here, though!
