I ambushing a Mac Book Pro but I have a Samsung G2 Portable External Hard Drive. Would it be compatible with my new laptop.

Hi there!
The skinny on your drive is this: Yes, the drive will work as an external hard drive and you can store files on it like any other drive; however, the Included backup and password protection software that coms with your drive doesn't support Mac OS.
Therefore, if you want to backup your Macintosh to this particular drive you'll have to reformat the drive to Mac's Extended Journaled format so that Time Machine (Mac OSX native) will recognize the drive: your drive is originally configured for Windows and, for one reason or another, Time Machine canât reformat the drive automatically, so you have to format it yourself first.
Also, if Time Machine is not your thing, here is a list of alternatives to the Macintosh's backup program: http://www.icreatemagazine.com/general/top-5/top-5-alternatives-to-time-machine/
Hope this answers your question.

Files Randomly Gone Missing on External Hard Drive?
Mel
I use a Samsung G2 Portable External Hard Drive that I use to mostly store films and series, and until yesterday, I've never had any problems with it. However, yesterday half of the files randomly went missing, but when I connected my hard drive with the TV (through a USB portal) all the files were still there and I was able to watch everything - no problem.
I've already checked if the files randomly turned into hidden files, but they didn't. They just seem to disappear on my pc? Help?
Note: I use Windows 7 on a Sony Vaio.
