Will this work out of the box with Time Machine?

You should first use Mac's Disk Utility to reformat the drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format for the best efficiency with a Mac before setting up TimeMachine. It is a simple process, and my 3TB version of this drive has been running TimeMachine flawlessly ever since. My 4TB drive is a recent acquisition for external storage, but it too was reformatted before use.

Yes, I use it for that. I did use apple disc utility and partitioned mine for 1tb to be used specifically for time machine though. If you need all 4 for just backups it should work. That seems excessive though to me

Yes BUT, mine crashed shortly after warranty was out and they would not fix it. Also would not stay connected. Don't waste your money. I bought and ioSafe and it has worked flawlessly!

My use of this drive has been exclusively on the Mac. However, I did not use any of the back-up software or formatting provided on the drive. It was necessary to use the Mac disk utility to reformat the drive. Then it worked with Apple's Time Machine.

Yes, it is compatible with Apple Time Machine. I use mine as my back up drive in my Macbook Air

Hi yes it works with Mac and syncing with time machine is straight forward however if you need more advanced features you will need some experience with NAS set ups as the setup wizards give you options that need technical knowledge to select the suitable options Regards

It should. Format it as a Mac OS X (Journaled) file system using Disk Utility, and you should be good to go.I only use it as a Time Machine backup HDD, so there's no troubles there.

Yes, it would still work. The Time capsule can setup a wireless network even if you don't have an internet connection.

If it worked and I don't think it would, you would be waisting about $200 dollars on functionality you don't need. Buy an Mac compatible external hard drive instead and use Time Machine to back up with it.

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).

It works with 2.0 USB. If 10.6.8 has Time Machine, I believe it should work. (I had 10.7 when I first started using it). It's very simple to set up--you basically just plug it in and then open Time Machine, which will then ask you which disc to use for backup. It's the best investment I've made in terms of piece of mind.

Yes the unit has built in support for time machine. The unit defaults to raid1 (mirror) so while you have two drives it behaves (including space) like a single drive, but offers the best in regards to fault tolerant

Yes. I run it through an Airport Extreme as a Time Machine back-up via Wi-Fi. Works great.

Works great with OS 10.6.8 and USB 2.0. I don't use time machine with it. I just access it manually when I need it through the finder.

Yes, I run it connected to an iMac running Mac OS 10.9 as the backup for Time Machine. Works very well.

well.. i have windows, so iam not sure about mac.. the disk works like a lan hard drive.. so it should work with time machine. The software is useful to set the configurations, just that.

Considering there is no such thing as windows 10 you may want to buy a time machine instead
