Is this hard drive Time Machine compatible ?

Yes! I had a friend partition this hard drive so that half was dedicated to Time Machine and the other half could be used as for standard files/documents. I've had it for some time and have had no problems using Time Machine on it!

Absolutely! I've used it for over a year with Time Machine. I never have to think about backing up. It's awesome!

Please check toshiba website: http://www.toshiba.com/us/accessories/Portable/1TB/Slim-II/HDTD210XSMEA Time machine will work fine on this one via USB cable.

I've been using it for Time Machine, so I didn't use the included software. Can't say for sure, but by the specs advertised by Seagate, it should.

I have and iMac computer with "Time Machine" installed. Time Machine automatically backs up everything on my iMac onto the Seagate Goflex. I have only had it for a short while, but to date I am very satisfied with my purchase. Hope this helps.

It's compatible unless you want to create a boot drive. In other words, you can use it for file backup, including Time Machine according to someone else who reviewed it (I never tried), etc. What you can't do on Mac and the reason I returned it, is create a clone of your internal Mac drive from which you could boot in case the internal drive failed. One caution: this was true when I tried four months ago. I have not checked to see if Buffalo has made any changes since then.

Yes. The adapter I received is compatible. However, it was not the same as what is pictured. I have recently purchased a new bigger Western Digital drive and the adapter that came with it is the same as what I was sent.

I do not believe it could be compatible cause the old drive is probably an IDE drive and this dock is for SATA hard drives

Not being a real computer geek, I can't give a 100% positive answer, but I think most hard drives are compatible with just about anything. Of all the hard drives I've installed or have had fail and replaced, I've never had a compatibility problem with anything.

I do not use Mac or Time Machine backup, yet the Amazon.com's product page states that it is.

Not quite sure as I recently replaced my harddrive on my mac with the exact same one that I had in it before. Maybe contacting Seagate directly might be a better alternative.

not sure about the 2012 version, but it works for my Time Machine very well, plenty of memory, compact, reliable ..... no issues on my end

Yes, it is compatible with Apple Time Machine. I use mine as my back up drive in my Macbook Air

Unless there is some oddity in those files there shouldn't be a problem. The "special" Mac-ness of this drive is that it is able to be used as a backup drive with Time machine - not all drives will support that. AFAIK

Yes it is. Always check the products website for more detail. Amazon does not always list the needed info on the product.And if I were you, I'd buy this instead, it's backwards compatible:Apricorn SATA Wire Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade Kit with USB 3.0 Connection ASW-USB3-25 (Grey)

Yes. Just make sure the old drive is SATA. Remember to format it to windows file system NTSF if using windows.

It is backwards compatible. Performs fine - like a USB 2.0 drive when connected to an older port. Performs really well when connected to a 3.0 port.
