Has anyone been able to confirm their claim of "Time Machine compatable" yet?

Yes. Open Time Machine Preferences on Macbook and Select Disk. Select the external Ministation which is plugged into the USB port.

I use the drive via my time capsule usb. Works great. I formatted the drive when it was brand new.

Lenovo does not list it as being compatible, and new replicators are different. My guess is no, but you can always contact them directly.

Yes, I purchased the 3 TB one a short while back and have been using it with Time Machine for months with no issues.

It is, but I've had problems with running time machine over wifi. I had similar problems as described in this persons blog post: http://macsynology.wordpress.com/2012/06/28/rsync-when-time-machine-fails/From what I've heard it shouldn't be a problem if you're doing it over a wired connection.

Yes, it does. I have used the same time Capsule for more than 5 years, having switched iMac's six times as I continuously upgrade. It works with any iteration of Apple OSX. Love that it just works - period. Never an issue, never a failure. Zero problems in 5 years.

Yes I have maverick and no issues with time machine or airport config tool.

I am not computer savvy so if you fit that category then my answer might be useful; if not then ignore everything I say :-). I also have Mac 10.8, but the original operating system was an older version - I purchased the update. The backup drive works great for me. I can't tell you anything about partitioning, and all the other tech specs. From a "novice" perspective it worked instantly with no problems - the computer recognized it right away and time machine did want it needed to do.

Yes, I tried. Contacted customer service, the whole nine yards. It DOES NOT work with Time Machine on Lion. Period. Even though the packaging misleadingly assured me that it was Mac compatible. I've been reassured that Netgear's engineers are working on the problem keeping in mind that Lion has been our for retail sales since July of 2011 with development versions well before that. I don't expect satisfaction with my complaint, nor do I expect to ever purchase a Netgear anything in the future.

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.

Apple Time Machine is an app although Apple sell its own hard drives for the Time Machine software. Yes you can definitely use it for that. I do.

I searched on eBay, and they offer a refurbished 3.5" floppy drive replacement for what you have. I am saying that the emulator should be compatible for replacement, but can't say for sure. Because, thinking back to my computer days, the earlier drives worked with 750K floppy disks, and then later ones was for 1.44 meg also. So, can't recall if the former or later versions was pin compatible with each other. In computer years, that is a very long time ago. You need to ask the seller how many pins is on his drive emulator, and then check what you have. If you are not a computer savvy person, take your device to most any computer shop for assistance. Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful...

There is a difference between Mac compatibility and Time Machine compatibility.Time Machine is much more stable with AFP, which this does not support. But Mac OS X can read/write to Samba shares (just not Time Machine), which this does.So, yes, this is compatible with Mac. No, it will not be very reliable with Time Machine.

As far as I am aware, there shouldn't be an issue. While we use it for back-ups on our Macs, we do not use it specifically on the time machine.

Yes, I used it with Time Machine in Leopard/Snow Leopard...worked well for exactly one year and then inexplicably died.
