According to WD's site:
http://www.wd.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=1140

their My Cloud will work with PCs and with Macs and also with smartphones and tablets.
The limitation is that the drive will be in Fat32 format, limited to 4 gig file size max. For a person with movies stored on the drive, they would have to be careful of the movie size.  You could not copy a virtual disk or encrypted disk file that was larger then 4 gig.

That NAS not FAT 32,it's basically a Linux NFS /CIFS emulation that the MAC should have no issues with.

Should work fine.
