is it compatible with mac osx encryption and mac file formating

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'm fairly certain the answer is no. Usually a device can be reformatted via the operating system or an operating system's disk utility app to handle OS level encryption. For example: http://lifehacker.com/5677725/five-best-file-encryption-tools You can also optionally encrypt individual files via an app or the command-line. Openssl has this command-line utility for example: https://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/enc.html#EXAMPLES

It sure can and it is the first thing I do when I got my new drive. Remember that a OSX formatted drive can only be read by a Mac. (FAT32 can be read by both Mac and PC, so I always keep one or two drives formatted FAT32, the rest are formatted OSX journaled

Hi, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support and would like to address your question. The DTHX30 is compatible with Apple computers in general and should develop any issues. The most common error I have seen is if the drive is reformatted on a Windows computer, the default format Windows allows is NTFS which is not compatible with Mac OS, so the drive is not accessible. If the drive is reformatted it would need to be formatted to exFAT or FAT32 (using our tool available on our website) for cross-platform support.

Not as a standard option, the connections are but drives are not, if you are willing to access the Linus O/S then here is a link to consider:http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/encrypted-filesystem

Yes this drive is compatible with a Mac. I plugged it in, opened up Disk Utility, formatted it (Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to be exact) and it's working just peachy. I even partitioned it, about half for backups and the other half for other stuff.

Can't help with any specific advice as I am using my drive with a Mac, but I can't see why there would be a problem. If you received a drive pre-formatted for a Macintosh, then doubtless, you need to use a Windows program to reformat it. Good Luck!

Can you further explain how to format this for Mac -- and can it be interswitched between a Mac and a PC?

you can format it for either or. If you formatted windows you'll only be able to read the files on a Mac. You won't be able to right to it from a Mac and vice versa.

I formatted it for my Mac G5. Don't remember if it was formatted when it arrived, but regardless you can format it for your needs like I did.

Yes. Just need to format it in a format thats appropriate for Windows. Like exFAT. There are some formats that will be read/write for both Mac/Window. These will be most versatile

While I do not use Win 8.1, USB is supported across OS platforms as an independent standard. The file system formatting is FAT32, again recognized across Windows variants, including 8.1, and Unix variants, such as Linux, OSX, IOS, Android. Encryption is done in hardware with the PIN entry mechanically entered on the device before the computer ever sees it. You will not have a problem with Win 8.1 if any other USB device works.

Yes. I use it with Linux Mint and Kubuntu operating systems. I also have TrueCrypt on it and my files encrypted with TrueCrypt, using the universal version which allows access from both Windows and Linux computers. That's the encryption method you'd want where the files must be shared perhaps across more than Linux only or Windows only.

Hi Russell. Yes, it is compatible with Mac OSX. You may check this: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid;=aca5e5197cc342d1957797b57ed83b8d_Getting_to_know_the_Linksys_EA3500.xml&p;id=80&respid;=0&snid;=3&dispid;=0&cpage;=search

yeah works fine if you format it right. Fat32 works good unless files are over 4gigs in size. also ntsf with macfuze installed is a good bet too..

It should be, if you format it for a Mac using disk utility (HFS Journaled) it should work fine.

Yes, it is compatible. The scanning software will not scan directly to the MAC, however you can set it up to scan to different email addresses which will alleviate this issue.
