Is this drive Mac compatible?

I honestly do not know if this drive is Mac compatible. It was such a waste of money and a piece of garbage it hardly even worked for PC. What I can tell you is this drive: Samsung Ultra Portable Slim DVD+/-RW USB External Drive, Black SE-218BB/RSBS IS Mac Compatible and works awesome on PC and Mac and Linux. Its a bit more money, but it really is worth it. Dont even bother with the one for your question, its not worth 1$.

I am sorry but I got it to work with my 10" Acer Aspire Notebook w/ windows 7. I was never able to get it to work. It shows that it is in there, but that is all.

Not sure. It works well with Windows. It is plug and play so perhaps it will be ok.

I am not sure but since everyone I know uses Mac and this external drive and many are on latest version of Mac, I would HIGHLY suspect that it will work just fine. This drive, with Time Machine, totally ROCKS. It is the best investment you could make.

Can't see why not, it is Mac compatible and most likely not OS dependent. Double check the tech specs. The only issue I've had with mine was some type of overheating or other issue, couldn't access the drive and it did not show up in Finder. Next day all was well and has been since.

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

Sorry, no idea. Stopped using Macs about 15 years ago. But afaik, no, its a standard hard drive with no other special pieces.

The drive works well on my system, an iMac running OS 10.9 (Mountain Lion). I did a quick online search and found users reporting no problems using OS 10.5 (Leopard) and several versions in between. Check your OS and search for the drive and your specific OS

The box says it is compatible with both Mac OS X (10.5 or later) and Windows (Vista, 7, Server 2003, Server 2008). I don't have a way to test if I plug it in to a Mac to see if it just works from one to another. I have read, however, that you may be able to do this with any drive by installing certain programs on your Mac. http://forum.notebookreview.com/apple-mac-os-x/192574-copying-mac-files-pc-external-hard-drive.html

I can't say for sure, but it's a SATA and that model macbook is too, so it certainly should work. I've replaced SATA drives with WD and Seagate drives in Macs in the past and had success with them.

I'm not an Imac user, but it is a generic DVD drive with a USB interface. If that floats your boat, it should work.

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.

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.

It is USB 2.0 standard compliant. It will take a SATA II/III or IDE drive. If you Mac has USB 2.0 standard ports, then, if your drive is SATA II/III or IDE, it will work.

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.

Yes, it will work on Macs. WD markets an additional drive specifically for Macs, but it's all a marketing ploy. They are interchangeable.

Yes, this drive will work with a Mac that does not have a FireWire port if you use Apple's Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter.

Of course. The drive comes preformatted for HFS+, the standard Mac HDD formatting system, but all you have to do for Windows is reformat the drive in your chosen Windows format. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2jn9_ZvIkM

The drive has a specific cable connection to the MacBook. It will not fit a PATA/IDE connector. I don't know the connections on the iMac, but I doubt it would connect.
