Couldn’t be easier!
Paired with Apple’s Time Machine backup software (which is part of the current OS X.5 operating system), backup are a breeze! I bought this to use with my MacBook which lives in the living room most of the time but does move around. When I want to run a backup, I [...]

Disk good, packing bad (no, make that bad/bad)
There IS a reason to buy RETAIL disks, not OEM disks, from Amazon, and that is the shipment’s packing.
Received this disk in a “standard” box (those just fine for BOOKS), with some brown paper wadded in along the SIDES of the disk’s own box. No [...]

Unique ID isn’t unique
This is an OK enclosure to invest in if you are positive that you will never need more than one, but if you ever plan to add another, beware. MacAlly ships every unit with the exact same internal GUID, in violation of the FireWire standard. The GUID is supposed to [...]

Lies about working with Mac
I’ve just purchased this device to backup my Macbook because of a hard drive crash.
I specifically bought the device because it would work with a Mac and I’ve met all of their minimum requirements.
So I hook up the thing, and their software doesn’t find the drive as it’s supposed to. [...]

WARNING - not what the description says!
The description for this product says “Full kit includes drive cables, installation and management software, and illustrated instructions”. All I got was an OEM drive… just the drive with no cable, rails, software, instructions or anything else. I don’t know if an underpaid stockboy just screwed up [...]

The pen works okay, but the software and mouse are a joke.
When I opened the box and took out the pad, it seemed really durable and heavy. “Nice,” I thought all happy and excited to try this gadget out. Then I took out the mouse and the darn thing rattled like a box of rocks. [...]
