None as of yet. All is working well. I was concidering going to Mountain Lion, but after reading the reviews, I don't think so.

I have Mt Lion, I am not sure if there are any issues with previous OS's.. I can't imagine it being a problem, especially if you're using it as a sole hard drive.. I have the stock 1TB hdd as a secondary internal in my 2012 Mac mini, and if you pay attention to the OWC instructions on setup, it works like a dream. I can only imagine hardware not being compatible if anything. I really don't know 100%, but I assume you will be safe

I had the same problem. I have late 2011 MBP. My SSD was recognized but not HDD. I had problems reading/writing/erasing/partitioning the SSD in the optical bay with Disk utility but when I tried with Ipartition it would erase and make partitions in it. I was running OSX 10.7.4. As I was not able to read/ write so I was not able to boot from SSD/HD from the optical bay. I returned the caddy. I am looking for alternatives.

nope, but I play from a boot camped imac through a thunderbolt drive. I even enabled the whole 60fps hack, it works fine but the system does get hot. Even by itself windows runs hotter on a boot camp set up than normal OS does.

I have an iMac running Snow Leopard and it works great. Highly recommend it. Sorry, no knowledge of functionality with any Windows operating system.

Hi, I was at the Apple Store on Tuesday and the Genius told me that I probably would not get good results with 10.5 Leopard on my iMac 800 G4. It is running at 800 MHz. We are using Tiger and have had no problems other than when we upgraded the RAM. It wouldn't take a gig- so we are at 768. It is 10.4.10 now.

I have Mavericks OS 10.9.4 and it works fine. I don't know how far back it goes. The box it came in was destroyed in our earthquake so I don't have the Mac specs handy, but I would guess it might go back as far as Snow Leopard, maybe earlier, but that is just a guess. Is it not supplied with the sales specs for the product? Sorry, I don't have more info handy at this time. I do have to say that I have moved on to Rosetta Stone. They have a terrific sale (50% and I bought the full program Levels I-V for about $250. Don't know if it's still on, but I received it just before the quake. Now that Our house is about restored, I'm getting ready to load it up.

I set up my WD while using Lion. Then I updated to Mavericks and the WD works flawlessly. No problems.

I recently received the WD 3 TB FW800 external HD and it works great with Snow Leopard. I do not have Mountain Lion so I can't say for sure, but I believe that it would also work with it just as good as Snow Leopard - I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. Since I have FW800 port and not USB 3.0 - I love this drive and am very happy with it.

I bought that computer for my son, he loves it, no problems. Unfortunately I don't know what a ssd drive is, nor does he, so I can't give you any info on that.

Running Yosemite on it now - no issues whatsoever. It's a clean install of the OS though, rather than an upgrade. That seems to make a difference in general, and upgrading to Yosemite tends to be glitchy. RAM has performed just fine.

no its fine. I can guarantee that you will never see the difference between 4 and more on OSX as it will just cache stuff to the ssd which is really fast as well.

I've only tried SSD but it worked great. Other units I tried had insufficient power to support the SSD.

The same thing happened with my 2009 Mac Pro. I checked on Mac Rumors and found others noted the same thing. It seems to be related to the SSD being recognized as having an OS on it only after the other SATA bays are scanned. Once recognized, it boots as quickly as a SATA bay, in my experience.

That would depend on which OS you went with. I have windows 7 ultimate, and I have a 500 gb samsung evo ssd, no issues.
