    No Luck

    I have a iMac ver 10.7.5 1TB and purchased this product to use with time machine. Initially everything worked fine but about 30GBs in to the 400GBs of data it said the drive was disconnected, I tried this multiple times on my desktop and the issue continued to happen, once at 30GB one time at 2GBs and the last time at 55GB, returning the item now looking for something better.

    Picked the 1TB version up as a replacement to the LaCie Rugged that I purchased with my Mac a while ago that failed shortly after. It has performed far better than I had hoped, has not failed, and isn't even half full after nearly three years of use as a Time Capsule.

    I'd highly recommend this in any size, especially over anything LaCie.

    This product doesn't work correctly. As soon as I did a Firmware update, I get ERRORS. Now it doesn't work. DO NOT BUY. SUPPORT ALSO IS BAD!

    Problems

    I bought this for to replace my G technology backup drive that is now filled after 4 years of use with my IMAC- it had no problems in that time but was noisy. The Western Digital 3T My Book is being returned it definitely has some kinds of issues it seems with compatibility. The tech on the phone with me from WD said it had not been tested with the lasted OS software - beware don't waste your time. It could not load the software.

    Be careful with OS X Lion

    Seems that OS X Lion is having problems with both WD and Seagate external drives. Be sure to check LION compatibility before purchasing.
