- Silent, Cool, Fast, Good Looking
I have been Very happy with my purchase. It runs great on my Macbook pro. I run it in raid 0 as a storage backup for my photography business. It was easy to setup and runs very fast (I run it on FW 800)

I have had not had any problems with heat, though I do not run any programs off it etc. so i am not pushing it all that hard. As it is fanless, it is completely silent.

It also looks much better than the flimsy looking single drive versions IMO.

A+ for my uses.

- Solid drive for my iMac media
I bought this to set up as a RAID 1 drive to hold my media library for iTunes. (i.e. it's a mirrored 500GB drive). I'm very satisfied with it's performance. Really only has a slight delay waking up if not used for a little while and then operates almost as well as an internal drive. Especially with the FW800 interface. The size is minimal and the design fairly stylish sitting on my desk. I have a couple AppleTV's connected to my media library and it handles it with no problems.

- Drive died after a year
This drive started acting funky from the very beginning. It was noisy and the fan would come on for no apparent reason. It would appear that it may have just over heated itself into oblivion.

For a drive that the manufacturer should anticipate as being used for a backup device, its functionaing and technical support leave much to be desired. ... Read More

- Seamless!
Purchased this product and returned the exact product purchased at the Apple Store- a savings of $60+. I have an iMac and the device was immediately recognized and began the Time Machine backup. In contrast to some of the reviews, this device runs quite cool and I have not noticed any overheating despite running continuously.

- Cheap, reliable storage for Time Machine
Using this drive with RAID level 1 and Time Machine is an easy way to get backup storage you can trust for the Mac.

I prepared by downloading the latest driver from Western Digital and installing it instead of the driver on the CD. I turned off Time Machine so it wouldn't prompt me to use the drive the first time I plugged it in.

When the drive arrived, I followed the instructions on the quick start card to change the drive to RAID level 1. (This uses the second drive for redundant ... Read More
