Is 1 TB enough to store data from 2 Mac laptops?

Depends entirely on the storage capacity of the two computers are how much space is taken up on both. I personally use the 1 tb drive for just my 500gb MacBook Pro.

Typically yes, depending on the gb storage on the laptops. 1TB is 1000 GB's

I would agree with the others....that said a Terra byte is a lot of storage. The problem that I'm having with mine is that I remember where I left mine...

Depends on the storage capacity of the laptops. Do your documents exceed 1 TB of data?

1 TB would be enough for general home use. I've been using mine for the last two months and I've been regularly using it, since I have a lot of clients and back up documents, files, and videos. I also use it for personal photo and video storage. I've only managed to break through to 50 GB. So, in my view, 1 TB should be enough.

Yes, you should be just fine. Just dont format your usb, or else all of your data will be wiped. Your mac should be able to use the usb just as fine as windows would

I really don't know. I use only one external HD plugged on this device to make backups.

From Macally tech support, "...there is no limit on the size of the hard drive you put inside. My product development team says whatever is commercially available on the market should work fine."

Absolutely. I have a MBP and bought 3 of these drives, although one was a gift to my brother-in-law who has a macbook air. I have one formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for my own use, and one MS DOS for sharing files with none mac users. It's the best USB flash drive I've ever used.

I use mine only for my wife's Mac. Clickfree doesn't support storing the data from multiple operating systems, but supposedly you could even store the data from multiple Macs or multiple PCs. She was running OS 10.7 last time we tried a back up.

I am currently using a 2 TB WD My Book for Mac on OSX 10.9.1. It works flawlessly and am very happy with it. I set it up when I was still using Lion. Then upgraded to Mavericks and had no problem.

If it's any consolation, I am using 4 of these with a Mac Mini connected to 4x (5 Bay) esata drive bay enclosures to create a huge RAID using 20 Drives. WORKS GREAT AS MY HIGH SPEED TIME MACHINE BACKUP

The drive as it is , is a USB3 . To have it Thunderbolt capable you would need to buy the optional Thunderbolt adapter. Would the Thunderbolt adapter workd on the 1 TB drive ?. I dont know

I've used both the 1&2 TB in my early 2008 MAC Pro; they work prefect. No issues to report.

As long as your machine has a Firewire 800 port you should be okay. What matters is the hardware you are using and not the operating system. You can just drag and drop files to the WD, but I use Carbon Copy Cloner and Super Duper to automate my backups.

I'm able to daisy chain a second firewire drive (not another My Passport) to my Macbook Pro, and both drives work fine.

Storage options are 256gb, 512gb or one 1TB. Anything else is not Apples standard.

While I think the MAC Pro decision is questionable ;) I do recommend the LaCie. I have more than one drive. there are different ways to safeguard the data, if you use mirroring you are basically duplicating (backing up on the fly) everything that you write of the drive and if the drive fails you go to the mirror, with this option you utilize only 50% of the drive storage.the other option (and the one I use) is RAID 5. you use 80% of the storage capacity but if a drive fails, you can still read the date normally till you replace it. if more than one drive fail at a time then you are out of luck and should never buy lottery tickets :) While I think the MAC Pro decision is questionable ;) I do recommend the LaCie.

We don't use any software and only use it as a dock. Had up to 6 TB drive work just fine on our Mac.

I agree with Tom. You shouldn't need to use an extra storage device unless your primary one is full.
