Yes it will work very well for Mac OSX. The commenter Michael gives a great explanation.

I know this works with the MacBook Pro (I have one); however, if it is a mid-2012, I'd definitely get the 840 pro version as for a couple of extra dollars, you get a little better performance and, I believe, a 5 year vs 3 year warranty from Samsung. A friend with an older Mac with Snow Leopard has this and it works fine, too. Can't say anything about the new evo series as I have no experience with it, yet. Also, the migration software from Samsung is Windows only, so you'd need to find an iOS program....there are several out there. Check out the mac forums for several suggestions. hth

Yes, I use Mavericks and the software works fine with Mavericks on my Macbook Pro.

The drive works well on my system, an iMac running OS 10.9 (Mountain Lion). I did a quick online search and found users reporting no problems using OS 10.5 (Leopard) and several versions in between. Check your OS and search for the drive and your specific OS

im not a MAC user, but according to Genius there's a driver for MAC OSX, i cant confirm if its compatible whit those specific version of the MAC OS (http://www.geniusnet.com/wSite/ct?xItem=53323&ctNode;=174 ) , in my experience Genius tech support its great and the best wayto know if it works whit snow leopard is to ask them

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.

I accidentally answered yes to this question, however, I can't seem to find any mention of Mac compatibility on their website. So, I'm going to have to go with no. Sorry.

I had a similar bad experience with installing Mavericks on a similar iMac. While the additional memory was helpful, I don't think the newer OSs are exactly compatible with legacy models; we had overheating and random shutdown issues. We eventually rolled back to Snow Leopard and it's been much better since.

It came with software that made it compatible with my MacBook Air running OS X v. 10.8.4 Mountain Lion. The company emailed the software to me, though I think it may now be available on their website if it's not packaged with the device.

This should work just fine. I use it with a 2007 MacBook...never done an update and it works well. Its also fast transfers. Hope it works well for you.

Yes, tested and operated well with both OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and 10.7 (Lion). The 10.7 version was running on a Mac Book Pro.

I just tonight got it working wirelessly on a MacBook Pro and iMac.Both are running Snow Leopard.The secret is ... on Snow Leopard you do not have to install any software. Snow Leopard detects it automatically (Bonjour?) and just sets everything up as needed when you need. I never used the CD included with the printer.I love it so far. It is working great for printing and scanning.

Hi John, it will works perfectly and if you want to make a backup using your Time Machine you only need to chance in your Utility Disk the status to -&gt; Mac OS Plus (registrer).

There is a pre-release download for MAC on the Belkin site. I'm not sure it's much better but worth a try. They never offered a version compatible with Snow Leopard but mine is on OSX 10.6.6. I'm in correspondence with them at present, but don't hold out much hope. It's a pity because if it worked it would be great.

As a macbook user, yes,it is compatible with MacBooks/Mac...However, I am unable to confirm that it works for PC,being that I haven't tried it on a PC. In my opinion,I'd say it should work for the PC too. For MACAll you need is:DoD certificatesCAC card readerCard reader driver (I use centrify,register for free and run the driver)And I believe you download either the snow leopard or mountain lion depending on your the Version of your MAC

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.

It worked for me. I transferred files from an old PC laptop to my MacBook but it took some effort to figure it out. I have since found an easier (and free) way to do this. Your Mac has a built in application called Migration Assistant. It can be found by clicking on the Finder icon, then click on Applications. You'll then go to Utilities and that's where you'll find Migration Assistant. Very easy to follow steps and it walks you right through them. You gotta love the Apple geniuses.

It is mac compatible, yes. However, it is not optimized for macs. The unit comes with two USB connectors for your mac, which connects it to the drive. Even with both connectors plugged in, some macs will disconnect from the drive while you work. As you can imagine, this is absurdly annoying, but is not a problem unique to this particular drive. A lot of macs have the same problem with USB 3 bus powered drives. The speed difference isn't even that noticeable from usb 2.0, so if you can find one, just get a USB 2 drive and save yourself some grief.
