How does this work on non macs? I see it says mac compatible, but not mac specific. I have a Toshiba satellite A665 S6086

It actually is mac specific. The way to determine is via our model numbers and release period. I wouldn't test this on a PC. There are many other options out there that will be designed to work with your PC. It might work, but I wouldn't run the risk of trying.

Forget it, they dropped support a long time ago. I sold it as soon as I found out there would be no new driver for Mac. I think the latest one works with Leopard or something.

It works on my Compaq USB 2.0 speed, but I have no direct knowledge about its compatibility with Macs. I don't see why not, though. Try it, and if it does not work, send it back. Or better yet, just contact the manufacturer before buying it. Wish I could give you a better answer.

These generally will drop and run on most o/s systems, however there are Intel drivers at http://support.toshiba.com/drivers . I'm unaware of any other software for this disk. I just plugged it into my Mac and away it went, after correct OSX setup of course.

I am an idiot- specifically, how do you format this for a Mac? Also, is it fine to do this, or should I buy a specific hard drive already formated or designed for Macs?

I can't really help, as my systems are all PC based. The manual tells me this is Mac compatible up to 10.9. Try reviewing the specification on WWW.startech.com. hope this helps.

Yes it is compatible with MAC OS; at least it says so in the product description. I am using it with a Samsung Laptop and it works very well&gt; note when I received it the instructions say that the unit doers not operate as well if plug into hub. What the product description does not tell you is that it requires two usb plugs to operate; I plug mine into a hub and it works fine. Bueno Suerte

Not familiar with Macs, but these things are pretty much universal. BUT - some older devices will only address 64GB. It works in my Canon cameras, my Dell laptop, but not in my Samsung S3 (max 64GB).

I have only used this device with Windows based PCs. I've looked to see if there is any support for Mac OSX, but can't find anything. It may work, but honestly, you might be better off looking for a different product.

Worked just fine with my MacBook. I imagine it will work with any Mac. If it doesn't Amazon returns are the easiest IMHO.

I am 90% sure it will work with your Toshiba Satellite. These are meant to work with numerous computers, including macs, so I so no reason why it wouldn't work with yours.

Honestly I am not familiar with Mac, but if you are having a issue with Mac PnP, I would look to see if it is enabled in P.O.S.T during boot, then anything in settings, the other thing is if you have PnP enabled, as wll as in your settings on your notebook, or computer setting's. The last idea would to be to contact Mac. USB should technically work in any device which has been programed in their circuity, or programming in their OS.

I'm a Mac guy, but it's not hard to figure out. Just check the specs for that particular model. Should be in your system/laptop profile. And online.

I have the exact same laptop and it worked just fine. Just make sure to power down your Mac before changing out the memory. There are a number of great instructional videos on YouTube on how to remove the base and disconnect the battery prior to installing your memory. Very simple process.

I've looked on the side of my package and there is no mention of it being compatible with MAC. I don't have a MAC computer so I couldn't tell you if this device works with it or not. Typically before I buy any product, I make sure its compatible with windows 7 OS, and if there is no mention of or I can't run and older version I just move on to the next one. Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful.

I got my comments from Apple Store technician. His comments may not apply to your Toshiba. Best if you check with Toshiba Tech Support.

Mac works fine - pop the microSD card into an adapter (SD or USB) and put that in your Mac, works without problems. Had some issues connecting the unit directly via USB (see my review for that)
