Great Hard Drive Sep 06, 2010 I needed an external hard drive that would work with Mac. This turned out to be perfect. Easy to set-up, simply take it out of the box, connect the cords, plug it into the computer, and go. I didn't install the onboard software and haven't had any problems.
Design is beautiful. Nice and sleek. Small light under the hard drive that shines down on the pedestal is beautiful. Very elegant and tastful.
2 TB is a lot of space. Lots of photos and videos will go on this machine.
Buyer Beware! Sep 02, 2010 At first I was very happy with this purchase. It was easy to install and did exactly what I needed, which was archiving all my family photos, documents etceteras. I began to notice that it was running hot. Since there is no independent power switch it remained on whenever my mac was on.
After 3 months of scanning with half my work completed it BURNED OUT! Fortunately my Appletech was able to retrieve the data, but had to destroy the drive to do so. Therefore I was unable to Return it.
I now have an extremely Reliable Hitachi with an on-off toggle. Pricey? Yes, but you get what you Pay For!
NOT FOR iMAC USERS Aug 30, 2010 I have the best iMac I could buy: 2,8Ghz Intel Core i7, 8Gb Ram. It wasn't complete without a 2T external hard drive for the Time Machine. I bought this hard drive and it's been a disaster. The very first time I plugged it in, the Finder froze. Investigating on the web, I saw that it needed and update, so I updated it and it still not up to par, it keeps freezing applications, now I can't control my iTunes through my keyboard.... in other words, save yourself a headache from mine.
do not buy even though it says for mac Aug 25, 2010 It was a nice hard drive.....till it went to sleep and would not respond. Their is a common issue with this drive I have been reading about that once it goes to sleep the imac cant get it to respond and it crashes finder. I did fix it by the power setting by letting disk not go to sleep but it constantly runs and the bright light is constantly on. If I purchase something..I want it to work. Call support and got the run around to call apple. No thanks I am not paying for support to fix your product. I already have an Iomega (with not one problem) and found on amazon a 2TB with firewire and just ordered it last night. Iomega eGo 2 TB USB 2.0 FireWire 800 Desktop External Hard Drive Mac Edition. So hopefully this one works right or I will send it back as well.
Do NOT buy this drive Aug 21, 2010 I have purchased Seagate drives for many years and felt that they were top-notch products. This drive, however, is a complete disaster. Every 30 minutes or so the drive spontaneously disconnects from my Mac computer then disrupts its function, requiring me to shut down my computer by force/override then reboot. In addition, even when the drive is detached from the computer, it runs very very hot - power management does not work. When I got on the web to see if anyone else had experienced the problem with disconnecting, I found that the web was full of the same complaint. The problem with some of the drives was fixed by installing the Seagate Disk Manager utility, which did help a bit but has not "cured" the problem. I am very displeased with this product and advise people quite strongly not to purchase one!
