(Expired) Bestbuy - Western Digital 1TB External USB Hard Drive for Mac for $64.99

What exactly makes them for mac? Just preformatted with a Mac filesystem right?
 
Picked one of these up for instore pickup sunday. Went to put another one on order, and they were sold out. When I got to the store sunday night, there were 4 on hold in the pickup area.
As far as I can tell, I havent tried it yet, the drive simply has to be formatted for use in windows. Some people say that this involves using the command prompt to use disk tools, in addition to actually formatting the drive.

Nothing really special. They put the Apple name on it so they can sell it $10 more than the same model with out the Apple name on it. I have a couple Macs at home and never have had an issue w/ drives that don't have Apple's name on them.
