NOT FOR MACINTOSH!!!
Pros
Nice enclosure. Well built drive. Pleasant customer service reps. Makes a nice aluminium paperweight.
Cons
Complete piece of bantha fodder. Useless garbage if you have a mac.
Recommended it?
No
Don't buy this if you have a mac... terrible terrible software, comes with a ROM partition that pops up on your desktop that you can never get rid of — and that partition contains out dated software that can't be downloaded without the drive hanging...
So you have to download the new versions of the software — and the drive still won't mount... it mounted one time... now it's useless...
I have tried on clean installs of 10.3.9 and 10.5.2 with no success...
I have another basic USB 250G drive from acomdata that is perfect... well put together, couldn't ask for a better drive but the software on these hybrid drives is garbage and CANNOT BE FORMATTED AWAY...
