Is the file that's save to the USB drive compatible with Mac? I have noticed some devices on Amazon, doing this function, are only compatible DOS.

This device saves the files in a type that should be usable on a Mac. Unfortunately my experience with it is that it cuts off recording at random times during your attempts and is therefore particularly worthless. I cannot recommend the purchase of this item. It was inexpensive and worth the try but it would be better to spend a little more and get something of higher quality

The drive works well on my system, an iMac running OS 10.9 (Mountain Lion). I did a quick online search and found users reporting no problems using OS 10.5 (Leopard) and several versions in between. Check your OS and search for the drive and your specific OS

I had the old version which was a USB 2 version which worked well but since I purchased a new computer with USB 3, that is how I use it. Just now I plugged it into my Macbook Pro which has USB 2 and it works beautifully. It should be noted that the first time I plugged it into my new Mac Pro, it did not work. It had me going till I decided to check to see I had plugged it in all the way. Hopefully you can get yours working properly and if not try to get it replaced with another. It will be worth it when working with large files. Good Luck

For me it just worked as is - plug it in using the provided USB cable, and the drive icon will show up on your desktop after several seconds. You can re-format it with Apple's file system (HFS+) if you only intend to use it with Apple computers, but the default should work fine too.

I honestly do not know if this drive is Mac compatible. It was such a waste of money and a piece of garbage it hardly even worked for PC. What I can tell you is this drive: Samsung Ultra Portable Slim DVD+/-RW USB External Drive, Black SE-218BB/RSBS IS Mac Compatible and works awesome on PC and Mac and Linux. Its a bit more money, but it really is worth it. Dont even bother with the one for your question, its not worth 1$.

Haven't tried large files, do not own a MAC, but noticed it writes slower than my older USB 3.0 drives.

This is just a blind stab in the dark, but since this device uses a flash memory card, it seems to me there must be a USB card reader that you could plug into your Mac, that you could then use to transfer the data directly to your desktop? Like I do with my cameras card? Hope this helps.

I've had no issues getting the USB to work on PC notebooks and a Mac notebook. For what it's worth, playback was done using both, and recording was done on the PC. Very clean results. No problems. Win 7 on the PC. OSX on the Mac.

I don't have a MacBook (but I have used macs in the past and like the ability to just plug something in and have it work - but would encourage you to look elsewhere for a good external USB drive - the one I got was a POS!

There is no reason why this drive would not work on any Mac running OSX 10.4 or higher. There are some OSX applications on the drive but I've never used them (I just deleted them) so I don't know if they'll run on 10.10. You don't need them to use the drive on your Mac.

A real USB stick is compatible with Mac OSX, but may need to be reformatted. IIRC Mac can read FAT32 format, but for larger sticks FAT32 isn't usually used. Buy a real USB stick from a reputable vendor (not this one!), and allow the Mac to re-format it when you plug it in.

Once you plug in the USB cable your Mac should recognize the drive immediately and you can just use disk utilities to reformat the drive to Mac format. Remember if you reformat it to Mac format. A PC may not be able to read the contents of the drive

Any USB drive can. With a proviso: They come from amazon and other stores preformatted as FAT32. This format is recognized by all modern OSes. However if you format it on your mac to the MAC OS format then windows will think it is blank and ask to reformat it.ON both the MAC and PC you can chose to format any USB drive as 'FAT32'. Bottom line. Yes. don't worry lol

I may not be understanding the question entirely, but once I formatted the drive to Mac, I could edit and save basic documents to the drive. But my pc treats it like a read only drive. Hope that helps.

Worked fine for me. Didn't work with my 32GB USB, but it worked fine with my 2GB one.1. Plug the USB drive.2. Hit record (the gray button).3. Hit play (the silver button).Here are instructions to format the USB drive for DOS using a Mac computer:http://www.hgst.com/support/faqs/how-format-my-drive-use-windows-and-mac-fat32

I would also like to know if this works on a Mac. In general, I am finding that it is possible to buy electronic items on Amazon that are completely incompatible with OSX and no where do you even see that mentioned. A simple "System Requirement" category would suffice.

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