Unfortunately Leda, I have not tried it on a Mac yet, but I do have a Mac in my "other" office (where I do video work) and I'll try and take it over there tomorrow and plug it in to see if it reads it. It's not a laptop, but a tower, but I would think it would be compatible with a Mac. I'll try and let you know what I find out.

i do not know about the Mac but i ordered 3 and 1 was defective and 2 worked. I decided it was not worth messing with them.

I'm not too sure, I only use it for a Mac Book Pro and it works fine for that. It might just be compatible with Mac products because of the size of the mini display port.

I feel certain it will work. I plugged it into a MAC that had a bad wireless adapter in it and it worked there. I also tried it in an older Toshiba laptop and it worked fine there as well.

yes it works for that purpose. The drawback is that it is difficult to get it working on Mac OS because of driver issues. If you have a windows laptop then it will work fine.

I would say no since the latest drives I could find were for Power PC. It looks to be pretty dated drivers for the Mac.

I really don't know about Mac operating systems but I would assume if your Mac is USB 2.0 and/or 3.0 compatible then I would assume it would work. You will probably have to format it to match your system's file format.

Yes you can, just make sure to install drivers if your Mac don't have them installed.

Like the others said, you need the apple adapter. Other than that it should be no problem with a mac.

Yes, I believe you can use w a Mac laptop as I hooked mine up & it seemed to recognize it. I have not tried it in a professional setting or venue. I can't answer with accuracy your other questions.

I am not sure, I have a MacBook pro and it works great! No problems ever. Worth it!

Yes, it is compatible with my MacBook and does a decent job. For the price I do recommend it......Gordon Adler

as long as the mac device has a usb option. what kind of device are you trying to use it for?

It has video inputs for VGA, Digital, and Display port, so if you have native options on the mac book for these, then yes it will work. Otherwise you will need some adapter.

It actually is mac specific. The way to determine is via our model numbers and release period. I wouldn't test this on a PC. There are many other options out there that will be designed to work with your PC. It might work, but I wouldn't run the risk of trying.

I do not have a mac but I fail to see why it would not be. Any usb supporting computer should make use of it.

If the Macbook has a mini-display port or "Thunderbolt" then yes, it will work fine.

This drive is too large to fit inside any Mac laptop (even if you have one that can accommodate an internal optical drive), so you'll need an external drive case. Make sure the case can accommodate a SATA drive (I imagine most cases do these days, but check anyway just in case). I suspect you'll need a case with its own power supply, the drive probably is going to draw more power than you can get over a USB bus.The other alternative would be to return it & buy an external DVD drive. You'd probably wind up with a smaller & more portable device that way.
