This review is from: Centon DataStick Waterproof 64 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive DSW64GB-001 (Black) (Personal Computers)
This drive works great and it will work with PC or Mac, it just needs to be formatted correctly. If you need it for PC, you can leave it as NTFS. If you need it for Mac you can format it as OS X Extended Journaled. If you need it for both, format it as FAT32 (keep in mind, there is a size limitation with Fat32).

This review is from: Centon DataStick Waterproof 64 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive DSW64GB-001 (Black) (Personal Computers)
The USB stick came pre-formatted as NTFS.
If you have OS/X Snow Leopard NTFS is Read-only by default, unless you get a free app to remount the NTFS as read/write. For Lion though , it is read only. However, you can reformat it.
The best option is to reformat using Disk Utility 'Erase' option, and select exFat. The is the successor to Fat32, and works equally well on Mac and Windows (Windows users may have to install the hot fix from Microsoft)
Note : exFat is currently the best option for maximum speed and portability (unless you want to plug into a Router/DVD player,TV etc, and then neither NTFS or exFat will be suitable - you should format as Fat32 in this case, as exFat and NTFS are unsupported on such devices)
Great for the price.
