Is the drive compatible with MAC??

I wouldn't see why not, it's pretty much a plug and play device. I don't have Mac devices, so I'm not 100% sure, but again I wouldn't see why it would not work. I do use this drive a lot for military forms, all Microsoft docs, music and movies. With is 3.0 plug, it's rapidly fast.

The drive is formatted FAT32 out of the box so you can use it with Macs and Windows PCs equally.

Yes. I used the drive for photo backups while on a trip using a pc laptop and then transferred those photos to my iMac upon my return home. All worked well.

If the question is whether the software on the drive is MAC compatible, the answer is NO. I have a Mac and I just use the device as a flash drive with my information in PDF files on the drive.

It will work with any machine that supports removable USB storage. If you want universal compatibility across the board, I would recommend use of exFAT over FAT32 if you have 4GB+ filesizes on individual files.You think any of those "Formatted for Mac" drives are any different from their Windows counterparts? Absolutely NOT! They're simply overcharged for being formatted as HFS lol. Also by calling Windows "Windhoes," you tend to make others not want to take you seriously ;)

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.

Yes, mine was a Mac formatted drive and is now just an external I use for backup for my MacBook pro.

This Drive is NTFS formatted so it will not work on MAC. For MAC system you will need either FAT32 or MAC journal formatted.

Yes I believe so should all be in the specs. I have had no trouble with the drive, Seems very reliable using it with my macbook retina.

I do not see any compatibility options for MAC OS online. As a USB 2.0 connection, they are compatible to a certain extent, but are NOT 100% compatible with each other considering the "WIN" function that has programmable keys available with Windows software.

I have the same question but it looks like the drive does not support Mac based on the spec on this page: http://freeagent.seagate.com/en-us/hard-drive/desktop-hard-drive/Free-Agent.html

This is compatible with Mac. It will read the drive from iMac. There is not included Mac Software however. But it works fine at the hardware level.

Beware! It is Mac compatible, but a number of the features this product provides works only with PC. I returned mine and replaced it with a 3 TB La Cie Porsche ext HD. I won't buy Seagate products again, as they seem skewed towards PCs. At least La Cies are made principally for Macs.

Of course it is. Simply reformat it with Disk Utility after installation. Just make sure your Mac can use a 2.5" drive.

Hi, I actually when I bought it I did not check its Mac supported, whereas I wanted to use it on Windows and Linux.So I repartitioned it with NTFS to use on these OSes. But it had HSpace partition, so it is compatible with all Macs

you can get any external drive ..... for it to work properly on a mac the first thing you will have to do is format it to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" then every thing will go smooth if you are using a mac only.

I am using this external drive on a PC; sorry I can't say if it will work with a Mac. KAY
