I have no experience using this with a MAC, you could contact PC magazine, they might have a review on this.

Sorry- you have to check the specs on the item page. I used it on a PC. Good luck!

I used it on Windows first but never had an issue connecting with a MAC. But this particular drive died on me so I'm not too happy about that.

Yes, it is compatible with Macs. But, you will need to go on the support site and download a reformatter, which is free of charge, and reformat it for the Mac system.

this drive didn't work with my new mac, I had to send it back and buy an apple drive.

I can't imagine why this external hard drive would not work with a new macbook. What difference would the screen make? I presume that the new macbook comes with OS X 10.8. I have two of these drives on my iMac and they work fine. It's a good idea to read the directions (quite simple) when installing the drive. It is formatted for Mac. The only thing I can think of is that someone mistakenly configured the drive for a PC. Then it wouldn't work on a Mac.

I do not use a MAC, however it is a USB machine so I would think it does. But don't hold me to that. However it is a nice little machine!!!

Michelle, I would assume so. They have drivers for it and it's in the quick setup documentation. But I don't have a mac.

Does it have a USB port? Then most likely will, not a MAC user, but USB=USB, I think.

It should, although you may need to download drivers to enable it on the Samsung. On a Mac it's plug and play. That being said, I wouldn't recommend this drive. I returned mine after a few days of use as it was really loud and clunky and would often reject discs that I tried to put in it. You'd be better off buying a name brand for a few bucks more.

I don't have a Mac but all Flash Drives are or should be compatible. It's just the way you format it.

Hi Buddy, yes it works perfectly on my macbook with just one thing. You have to connect it and then 'find' it by inserting a disc. Also, I had to re-connect it each time I changed the disc I was downloading. Good luck.

Yes the drive is fully compatible with Mac OS X leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion. Tried it on all platforms because I help friends and they had all those operating systems. Hope ya buy it.

There is no reason why this drive would not work on any Mac running OSX 10.4 or higher. There are some OSX applications on the drive but I've never used them (I just deleted them) so I don't know if they'll run on 10.10. You don't need them to use the drive on your Mac.

I'm pretty sure.. NO - you have to install drivers via disc or download to a laptop or PC, not sure if it's even Mac compliant, I think it's Windows based only.

Just got one and it works great, but no, it doesn't show up in Mac OS X as a drive. I'm using 10.4.6 and can't see it in the finder, disk utility, or in /Volumes/. Bummer.

I cannot answer that question, I use my G Drive as a backup only for my MAC. Sorry.

Yes, this drive will work with Lion and Snow Leopard regardless of how it attaches to the computer (USB or Firewire). Chances are, you'll attach via USB and it will work fine. If you see the word "Studio" in name, it's formatted by default to work with the Mac right out of the box.

No. This macBook pro uses IDE type of drive. SATA interfacewill not work.Mike

Of course. The drive comes preformatted for HFS+, the standard Mac HDD formatting system, but all you have to do for Windows is reformat the drive in your chosen Windows format. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2jn9_ZvIkM
