[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1276905, member: 8287"] First so I will not forget, you should format your drive Apple format (Mac OSX Extended Journalized). Since you are not using anything but Macs with OSX, that will be the way to go. Also Time Machine only works with Apples format. I am wondering since it's a USB 3.0 drive and the ports on your Mac are USB 2.0 if the adapter cable is defective? Any working drive should show up in Disk Utility even if it will not mount. Let us know if that cable does the trick. [/QUOTE]
