Can I use it to transfer my files & photos from my Dell hard drive (no longer in the PC) to my Mac Mini?

SATA or IDE can be connected and copied on to a temp location and transferred to Mac, I have 2 of my SATA hard drives one from desktop and the other from laptop Cheers!

I have mine on a PC. It should work fine on a MAC but not as well on a MAC Mini.

I understand that you can, in theory, but have read experts who advise against it. I use mine to back up Macs (which it does perfectly), but have a separate arrangement for PCs.

i would think no you shouldn't have any issues this thing works as a means of turning an internal drive into an external as long as your mac is capable of seeing externals through usb you shouldn't have any problems.

I don't know. Never used it for that purpose. I'm just using it for my kamera. Then i transfer them to my Macbook, sorry.

I can't really say as I don't have a mac but would think as long as you can plug in the usb it would. It transfers great on to my PC just like you were using a flash drive.

It does work with my Mac mini but it is a slow drive, designed for backup purposes not really good for gaming

I think you saying that you will transfer the data from both macs to this hard drive and then partition the hard drive of both macs and then transfer the information back to the macs. If this is correct, then your answer is yes, you can use this hard drive to help accomplish your end goal.

I have recently used it to backup all my photos and iTunes music from my Mac. But it comes setup for windows and has to be reformatted for a Mac. Not sure if you would lose your data.

i am sure it can i just haven't tried it as it would void the warranty. you could by a Seagate drive with the Thunderbolt interface and use that. i was thinking of trying that myself if i didn't go for buying a dRobo mini instead.

I don't know MAC/Snow leopard, but it is treated as any other USB storage device.If your mac can handle USB flash drives, or USB external disk drives it should work just fine.This device is Screamingly fast as well as large. transferring data from it via USB 3.0 to an internal SATA solid state drive, it reaches speeds approaching 300MB/sec.This device is also quite expensive (~$300).If your machine can not handle the speed you could buy more storage cheaper.

The drive has a USB 2.0 port which will work on a Mac or a PC. As Anthony W. advised, format the drive in FAT32 for compatibility with both systems. (I seriously doubt that your Dell computer has a firewire port and USB transfer won't approach the firewire 800 speed, but it should work.) Formatting the drive will probably be easier and faster if you do it on the Mac before connecting to your Dell.Congratulations on upgrading to a 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.

I do not know much about macs but if the mac has usb, this should pop up as an external usb hard drive (provided there is a hard drive in the device). If you have both Hard drives plugged in the device then you should be able to use your mac to drag and drop files from one hard drive to the other.

Don't know much about Mac Mini, This device requires only a usb port to interface. So as long as your mac has a usb i believe it will work.

I used it to be able to transfer data. It worked for that purpose, but my hard drive was longer than the box, so ivcould not put the end black piece on to enclose it in. It works but i have to be careful when i carry it in a bag or something. I don't know how big the dell hard drives are. It may work just fine. Depends on what purpose you want it for
