Yes it will work with the Mac OS, and allow for any updates to be install. It general work on both PC and Mac.

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.

YES, Asus specs show that it is compatible with Mac OS X devices: http://www.asus.com/Optical_Drives/SDRW08D2SU/#specifications

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

I'm running 10.8 as well, so I'm not sure, but I wouldn't think you'd have any problems. The drive comes with some software but none of it is required to use the drive. More interesting though is why you would want a USB 3.0 drive with a Mac running 10.5. Anything stock from that era doesn't have USB 3.0. So unless this is a Mac Pro that you've swapped a new USB controller card into, you can find cheaper 2.0 drives. Otherwise, spring for the $20 to upgrade your OS and then you won't have any worries.

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.

I know that mountain lion cannot be installed on this older model.. I do not know for sure on maverick.

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

Wow, I'm not sure. Since Maverick is the latest iteration of the Mac OS, I would assume that it could, since it worked on other OS X's. I myself used it on Windows XP and 7 only, so I couldn't say. Are you sure that you would want to purchase this scanner though? It is very old....

Yes. Your Mac will ask how you want to format the drive. You choose the format that works best in your environment.

Yes it will. It has worked wonders for me since i used it as a back up for re-installing Apple OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion). As long as you follow instructions on partitioning it. There are plenty instructions and examples on YouTube from different tech guys showing vids on how to back up and install OS (win or mac).

It should. Format it as a Mac OS X (Journaled) file system using Disk Utility, and you should be good to go.I only use it as a Time Machine backup HDD, so there's no troubles there.

I do not have personal experience with Mac hardware, but it should. It is a 2.5" SATA drive. Typically the only concern with swapping out these drives is making sure the new drive is no thicker than the OEM drive. HDD's <=750GB are I think usually 9.5mm thick, while larger capacities require another platter so will be thicker. You should be able to substitute any <=750GB 2.5" SATA drive.

Should be. If you have a 2.5" drive ( which my macbook did ) then you should be fine. Just make sure you have all the install disks for osx.

pretty sure the answer is yes. the mimiting factor isn't necessarily the hardware, but snow leopard. Instructions for boot from a thumb drive are here:http://www.maketecheasier.com/create-mac-snow-leopard-usb-installer-disk/the HD should also work.

I use mine with Mavericks and SATA III drives. The only problem I have is that USB 3.0 drives can kill your wifi on MBP
