Is this compatible with a Mac 2TB hard drive?

It is USB 2.0 standard compliant. It will take a SATA II/III or IDE drive. If you Mac has USB 2.0 standard ports, then, if your drive is SATA II/III or IDE, it will work.

The box says it is compatible with both Mac OS X (10.5 or later) and Windows (Vista, 7, Server 2003, Server 2008). I don't have a way to test if I plug it in to a Mac to see if it just works from one to another. I have read, however, that you may be able to do this with any drive by installing certain programs on your Mac. http://forum.notebookreview.com/apple-mac-os-x/192574-copying-mac-files-pc-external-hard-drive.html

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

The first thing you have to do is to make sure that the drive is set to the format your MAC uses. It should work perfectly fine.

Yes. You will need an enclosure, then connect via usb or thunderbolt, then format the drive Mac OS extended journaled or as need.

Michael,Yes this drive will work in a hard drive enclosure to a Macbook Pro. The only thing you might have to do is change the formatting on the drive to an Apple compatible one.

No. There IS, however, an external portable drive from WD that DOES work with the Mac. It's called My Passport for Mac and is available 500 GB to 2 TB. Just go to the WD web site. They offer other portable backup drives for the Mac.

I am not sure. I don't own Macs. I don't see why it wouldn't. It is just a hard drive.

You should have no problem. My mac has USB 2.0 and this drive supports USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 natively. The only difference you will see is the data transfer speed, and honestly, even with USB 2.0 interface, the data transfer is pretty fast.

I do not have personal experience with Mac hardware, but it should. It is a 2.5" SATA drive. Typically the only concern with swapping out these drives is making sure the new drive is no thicker than the OEM drive. HDD's <=750GB are I think usually 9.5mm thick, while larger capacities require another platter so will be thicker. You should be able to substitute any <=750GB 2.5" SATA drive.

My Mac is USB 2.0 as well and the WD HD is perfectly compatible, no problems encountered.

Yes. Your Mac will ask how you want to format the drive. You choose the format that works best in your environment.

I don't know if the hardware recognizes 6TB but I guess it should. I put on mine a 3TB and it works flawlessly with my MacBook Pro at least a year already.

Most of the complaints ab this product deal with Mac compatibility. This product is designed for PC drives, so I would definitely contact the manufacturer directly

I'm using it as a mirrored array on a Linux box, but you should be able to configure it as JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks). If I remember correctly, it defaulted to JBOD when I first used it. According to the technical specs it's Mac OS X compatible. http://www.startech.com/HDD/Enclosures/Dual-Bay-SATA-External-Hard-Drive-Enclosure~SAT3520U3SR

I use PC not MAC. You could use this hard drive, however, WD support for MAC is not the best. I would suggest Seagate, Hitachi, or Samsung as they provide better support. You may also need to download additional drivers no matter which Hard drive you choose. I also suggest you check our ZDNET's recent article on the Best Hard Drives.
