It worked for me. I transferred files from an old PC laptop to my MacBook but it took some effort to figure it out. I have since found an easier (and free) way to do this. Your Mac has a built in application called Migration Assistant. It can be found by clicking on the Finder icon, then click on Applications. You'll then go to Utilities and that's where you'll find Migration Assistant. Very easy to follow steps and it walks you right through them. You gotta love the Apple geniuses.

I don't think so, it seems to be a windows version. I installed this one on my early 2008 mac pro and it worked perfectly but I think it need Mountain Lion or Mavericks. Those OS's have drivers built in of which OSX 10.7 doesn't. This is the one I got and it work great Inateck Superspeed 4 Ports PCI-E to USB 3.0 Expansion Card - Interface USB 3.0 4-Port Express Card Desktop with 15 Pin SATA Power Connector, [ Include with A 4pin to 2x15pin Cable + A 15pin to 2x 15pin SATA Y-Cable ]

Brad: I'm sorry, I have not used it for that purpose. Since I have a MAC laptop, it didn't have the connector port that I needed, so I bought this so I can use the 15-pin end on my external monitor and plug the USB end into my laptop. That works fine. Since it is a standard 15-pin end, My guess is that it will work, bit i haven't done anything other than use it to connect an external monitor to my laptop. Sorry I can't be of more help.

The hubs are plug and play, so if you are using Windows this should work. I have plugged mine into machines that have different versions of Windows and it works fine on all the machines I have used. The manufacturer claims that this is also plug and play with Mac OS X, but I have not tried it. If you are trying to use this on a different operating system (Linux or whatever) you will need to ask Cable Matters customer support if they have drivers for it.

I couldn't tell you, I don't use pc I'm a mac guy. I worked in my Power Mac, but I now have an iMac and it won't work w/ new OS. Sorry I couldn't help more but I had mine before USB 3.0 became a reality.

I connect this to connect my MacBook 2008 via DVI cable to my HDTV and it works great! I don't see why it wouldn't work on a PC

Tell me what you are trying to accomplish first. What equipment, OS and hardware you are using. I can connect just about any peripheral device to my Mac Book Pro 2009 computer, I had no issues with any hard drive except formatting and mounting the HD. All other issues are software issues, and driver issues, it's called handshaking when the peripheral devices talk together and work. This is the major problem. Mac's have fewer issues then PC window computers. Usually it is because the OS does not recognise the drivers and or software. Send me an email if i can help further PG

Sorry, that is an AV setup question that is dependent on your computer and TV capability. Last I checked, USB is not the best AV connection choice when it works. Resolution and bus limitations alone are inferior to pure video output. The cable is excellent for computer to computer data transfer for migration from older Mac to newer Mac.

I use this strictly to do OSX backups using TimeMachine. This drive is formatted for use with Apple computers and is not formatted to be accessed by PCs. I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish, whether it is backing up data using backup tools or just trying to copy files to an external drive that either system can read. Regardless, this is not a good, cost effective, starting point for you. You would need to totally reformat the drive and consider if your PC supports USB 3 because this drive is built to support that higher transfer rate.

Yes, you should be just fine. Just dont format your usb, or else all of your data will be wiped. Your mac should be able to use the usb just as fine as windows would

I cannot definitively say, but I would assume that the mac would throttle down the speed to match whatever is hooked up to it. At least that is what PC's do to make newer ports "backward compatible".

On the PC's and laptops it works just fine. I'm not sure about Macs but I don't see why it wouldn't.

The item I received worked terrible on the PC. I really don't know anything about its compatibility with a Mac.

As long as you have female VGA connections on both ends of your system, this cable will connect the two. I can't speak to the software though, I'm not an apple user.

Yes it does work. Apparently, all of my computers were Mac. But, I have to tell you that this item does not appear to be a high quality one, although it get the job done. Also, when you use the connector, if it feels too lose, it meants that you did not connect it properly. Just a tip! Happy hard drive upgrade!!

This will work on any Mac with a USB 2 port. It would not be needed if the Mac has a functional Ethernet RJ45 port.

I'm not sure if it would work for a Mac. I believe you would need a monitor adaptor from the Mac to this splitter at least. It's been working great on a PC, I just don't want to say it will work or not for a Mac. Sorry, hope it works out
