works well on my mac so far July 28, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
i did quite a bit of shopping & comparing before i decided on an external hard drive & i couldn't figure out why the 320 gig model that is very similar to this cost more & had many reviews where this one had none. then i saw that this model came out later than the other one & as we all know, technology is the only thing that gets less expensive. after doing some research on the manufacturer's website i decided to get this one despite what they say about drives as big as 500 gigs being a little less reliable. i baby my computers & have a history of having them last forever & i just couldn't see paying more & getting less. this one is the most bang for buck, especially for a firewire/usb combo.
so far it works great, it got up & running quickly with no problem & transfers data rapidly. i am using it on the firewire bus on my macbook, don't let the tag "firewire a" throw you, that just means you can use either the 6-pin or the 4-pin cable. i like the metal case & it doesn't run hot. it comes ready to roll but i reformatted it to optimize for mac which only took a moment. the only discrepancy is that the manufacturer claims that you can make this drive bootable on a mac by installing osx on it but osx tells me differently when i try to do that. i am not using the backup software supplied with it because i am informed that it is flaky. of course the real test will be how long it lasts & if i have problems i will update my review but so far this unit is a solid quality item @ a very good price.
