I would like to know if this unit will work with a Mac Mini 2005 which uses a IDE/ATA internal drive.

if your drive is a 2.5 inch drive and you have checked this pin layout per the picture it will work. The pins don't lie and this drive gave new life to my laptop, much faster and battery life more than doubled.

My guess is it will work fine if the interface is laptop IDE. I never took apart a mac mini.

It only works with an IDE drive, it is just a case, you have to supply the drive. I had an old drive from a laptop, that no longer worked and I took the drive out and bought this case. I then turned the old IDE drive into an external drive. Hope that helped you out. My old laptop was a gateway, not an apple product.

Hi,Although I have 2 older MacBooks I installed this drive on, it seems to be ok on the Mac Mini also. I would suggest you check out YouTube first and search "Mac Mini 2011 hard drive and ram upgrade." You really need to check out the specs on your specific machine too. There are space considerations, not just will it work. The guy on YouTube was using this drive as a secondary drive. Also, try Googling your situation. That's how I figure things out. Hope this helps.Steve R.

The unit came with a mini disk all I did was burn a copy of the disk, on another computer.And it worked fine. Please dont try to put the mini disk in to Mac disk drive, it may never come out

The SATA is composed of a 15 (power) and and 7 (data) pin parts (so 22 in total). I'm 99.9% sure this will fit the SATA drive. I have not used it with Mac to Mac (only Windows USB side to Macintosh hard drive and it worked like a champ) so the only concern I would have is would be that the Mac will support the device. The other issue would be that the Hard Drive's format is readable by your OS... If so then I would say it will work.

Sorry, I do not know anything about Macs. But, I would check your owners manual. The SATA connector should be the same, but the height of the drive could be an issue, it might not fit in your HDD slot. Good luck.

Hello, I use it on a mac pro, but when I install the hard drive from my old imac worked fine, the connectors are the same.

I'm sorry not to be able to answer you. My Iomega eGo Mac crashed before I could find out. It went Kaput. I bought a Seagate.

I bought it and it doesn't work with a Mac Mini, plugged into the USB Port. Hoping that the owner can answer here to support.

I use it with my Mac Mini and it works great. I have not had any bad things to report from this HD.

I have this on a Mac Mini running Mavericks and it works great. You definitely need a powered USB hub with the Mac. I have three USB hubs on my Mac Mini and this one works the best by far.

The drive has a specific cable connection to the MacBook. It will not fit a PATA/IDE connector. I don't know the connections on the iMac, but I doubt it would connect.

Yes it will work. As long as it's a 2.5" laptop style hard drive with IDE/ata. As for the OSX 10.9, as long as you format it using your Mac, then I see no reason that it wouldn't work!

Cannot answer your question since I have not had any experience using the DriveStation with a MAC.

It's compatible with any SATA equipped Mac, which means you are good to go. Just make sure you have TRIM enabled after installing it on OS X. The utility I use is called Trim Enabler. With regards to the previous poster's comment, I've taken my Mac apart many times now and I've never had a problem. iFixIt has great tutorials for every Mac that covers how to disassemble your laptop safely. I recommend printing out their guide's and then putting the screws on top of the guide's pictures, so you know where to put them back.

Yes, however the two we bought in January 2013 had occasional disconnection issues with a new Mac Mini. Hopefully Macally solved this by now. They worked perfectly with other Macs-eject key and all.

Hello R. Spencer, I don't know. I am still running the same OS that came with the MAC Mini. Sorry I couldn't help you.
