[QUOTE="Randy B.

Not a good average. Of even more concern is the number of Mac users who reported that this drive simply didn't work with their Macintosh: [URL='http://www.amazon.com/Iomega-Network-Attached-Storage-34571/product-reviews/B002PY7LME/ref=cm_cr_pr_hist_1?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&filterBy=addOneStar']Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Iomega Home Media 2 TB Network Attached Storage 34571[/url] There was a discussion about Iomega drives on another Mac discussion list that I am on. A few folks said that Iomega tech support had told them that Iomega didn't support using their drives as startup drives for Macs. (Not that they wouldn't work as startup drives, just that the company didn't support doing so. So, if your drive doesn't work with your Mac, you are SOL.) I found this very hard to believe, so I phoned Iomega tech support and asked. I was stunned as the gentleman on the phone explained that Iomega drives aren't for use as startup drives with Macs. I recommend going with a brand that is known for more reliability and better support for Mac users. ___________________________________________ Randy B.
