will this drive work with MAC
2006924
This Drive is NTFS formatted so it will not work on MAC. For MAC system you will need either FAT32 or MAC journal formatted.

It should. Says so on the box I got it in.It says Mac OS X 8.6 and Above. And open USB port. Weird how they say you can't when it says you can on the box....

Well you probably should not have chosen this drive. It's not trivial to connect it to a Mac. This drive is primarily designed as an internal PC drive. Depending on the ports available on your Macbook, the best way to connect this drive is to get a drive enclosure that holds a SATA drive and has an external connector for firewire or USB. I think a newer Macbook has only thunderbolt and USB.

you can get any external drive ..... for it to work properly on a mac the first thing you will have to do is format it to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" then every thing will go smooth if you are using a mac only.

It will work with any machine that supports removable USB storage. If you want universal compatibility across the board, I would recommend use of exFAT over FAT32 if you have 4GB+ filesizes on individual files.You think any of those "Formatted for Mac" drives are any different from their Windows counterparts? Absolutely NOT! They're simply overcharged for being formatted as HFS lol. Also by calling Windows "Windhoes," you tend to make others not want to take you seriously ;)

Hi Gabby, I don't see why it wouldn't work. With an older Mac, you could prob use a smaller external drive though, say 500gb.

The drive is supported, it comes formatted in fat32. You can reformat to mac only or exFat if you want. USB 3 is not supported on macs (yet, you'll need a new mac), but the drive works just fine.I have 2, use them both on mac's and pc's with no issues. Great drive, really fast even on usb2.

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

Yes. It works with any computer that uses SATA interface. You will need to format it to work with the Mac OS.

I bought one of these drives to put in an older MacBook. I would suggest you remove the old old hard drive (it's very easy, takes 5 mins) Read the spec written on the hard drive and if this matches the new drive, should help ensure it will work. If your unsure how to remove, you tube it. Hope this helps

This is compatible with Mac. It will read the drive from iMac. There is not included Mac Software however. But it works fine at the hardware level.

Are you asking will it work with a HDD out of a Mac or if it will work when you plug it into a Mac? Either way the answer should be yes. Two things to keep in mind though:1. As long as the HDD out of an old Mac is IDE and not SATA it will work. 2. Just keep in mind whatever HDD you put in this it will need to be formatted for FAT32. If it's NTFS it will ONLY work for windows. (but you can change the format easily)

The USB drive should be recognizable by any device with a USB Port. the only thing that would be incompatible is if you have a proprietary file type exclusive to Mac trying to run it on Windows. Files like pictures, videos and such should all be fairly universal and transfer with no issues.

It should be, if you format it for a Mac using disk utility (HFS Journaled) it should work fine.

Yes this drive will work on Windows 7. You can format the drive to FAT32 to work on windows & mac.

I have USB 3.0 on my iMac, so I don't know if the drive will work with your computer.
