Anyone else receive the hard drive Macbook Air DOA?

As I said on your review (of a machine you never actually used), I am doubtful that your MacBook Air was really DOA. You seem really uninformed. (For example, the original MacBook Air has a 80 GB hard drive.) The penny-pinching is also indicative of someone who should probably not be in the market for an MBA. It is not a budget computer.

More information please: OS? Steps you have taken (I.e. Have you unplugged the drive and restarted the computer, etc.) also, was the drive bring accessed when improperly ejected?

Haven't had that, but after 3 months Lenovo says my hard drive went out and has to be replaced. I lost everything on it and it has to be sent in for repairs. I am never buying a windows machine again. My MacBook has been going strong for 4 years.

Hey, I have the same macbook. mines can't be rebooted due to failure of ssd... just wondering if you had already tried this or had tried others that worked?

What he's asking for is to hook up the drive and look at the device list where it will list out the model of the drive inside the enclosure. On a Mac, check Apple menu -> About this Mac -> More Info... -> System report -> Storage -> look under "Physical Drive". On Windows, probably in the Device Manager somewhere.

It didnt fix mine. I ended up taking the hard drive out and buying another computer.

I have a MacBook pro 2010 and I get freezes during start up unless I unplug and replug after booting up. There were so many other types of problems I ended up returning the HD.

Just got one and it works great, but no, it doesn't show up in Mac OS X as a drive. I'm using 10.4.6 and can't see it in the finder, disk utility, or in /Volumes/. Bummer.

I own a Macbook Air and installed it with my USB connected disc drive from Amazon without any issues. It runs fine on there, but I would recommend keeping the charger plugged in all the time as it drains the battery quickly.

First buy the thunderbolt connector. It is less expensive to buy it from Apple. I then purchased an external disk drive. Good luck

I have this exact hard drive - purchased it this weekend. It needs to be formatted FAT 32. It works perfectly with my Mac and PC.

Never had that issue with this item. try unplugging all cables and then try plugging the drive into the wall, with out any cables to the computer. If the problem persists, contact WD. Hopefully you are still under warranty, and they can get you a replacement.

I was personally unable to get the hard drive to book up to my Mac through the syba usb cable.

Per my recent review, I had a similar problem. I plugged in an old MSDOS external hard drive and the Apple could see it but not copy from it, which it does when plugged directly into the Apple computer.

Not quite sure as I recently replaced my harddrive on my mac with the exact same one that I had in it before. Maybe contacting Seagate directly might be a better alternative.
