Macbook Pro: Hey, so I'm thinking about getting this for the Macbook pro - would it connect properly?

This is a graphics card for a desktop PC with an open PCI-Express slot. This card is not compatible with any laptop and I don't know much about Macs so I wouldn't know if this could even fit in a regular Mac Pro.

It works with a Mac Mini, so I can't conceive of a reason why it wouldn't work with a MacBook Pro.

I use it for my Macbook pro, as I selected Mac cable to connect with it, It works perfectly with me. I can transfer a lot of data in a short time. I know that this device is compatible with Mac and Windows but I prefer it with Mac because it has Time Machine Software to backup your data for double protection of data loss, this feature available only for Mac and supported to all Apple products. For further information contact their support team at www.g-technology.com. Thanks for contacting me and I hope this helped you. Regards.

Hi Buddy, yes it works perfectly on my macbook with just one thing. You have to connect it and then 'find' it by inserting a disc. Also, I had to re-connect it each time I changed the disc I was downloading. Good luck.

It didn't work with my older MacBook Pro laptop. Got an error message something like "device using too much power through USB" and it was bypassed. Might work on newer Macs.

I am paired with a MacBook Air. I tried pairing them with my Pro, and this seems to be an issue. I would ask the company for advice on this. The Apple forums don't seem to have an answer.

I know it works with the Retina Macbook Pro. If your "MBP" has a retina display then you should be good to go.

reading through forums it seems to work better on Mac, so yes it should work perfectly, just instal the drivers right

I have used a single port successfully with a MacBook Pro using a regular USB 3.0 cable (as well as the cable provided, just without plugging in the second plug). Your results might vary depending on how much wattage your USB ports provide but it worked for me!

I used it on the current MacbookPro model without an issue. I just trust the quality of it. I've had two replaced so far because they didn't work right out of the box. I'm waiting for the third one to stop working.

Btw. Mine is a pro, not a plain MacBook. I don't know if that makes a difference

It should automatically connect and install the proper driver, if necessary. This was originally released as a Windows 7 product. I'm using it with a Mac and it works fine, without any drivers, even though it's not labeled as Mac compatible. You should have no problem.

I couldn't get it to connect to my late 2013 MacBook Pro. It did connect to my iPhone and iPad, so the unit was working.

Not sure. I set it up with my desktop PC, but I do have a MacBook Pro. I would assume it should be compatible and easy to set up.

I have an apple macbook pro and it works perfectly with the unit. We are very happy with its performance.

I am trying to use it with a Mac Pro. I can make it work but there are issues. The mac won't recognize it at startup. I have to unhook it and reconnect after startup. It works fine then, if I just put the mac to sleep its fine at wake up.

yes. you just plug into an available USB port and now you have an ethernet port ! my ethernet ports were damaged by lightening so I use this adapter now and it works fine on both iMac and MacBook Pro.
