[QUOTE="D300, post: 951790, member: 133428"] I have a G4 running 10.5.8. I want to know if it is possible to use a Seagate 1 Terabyte external drive with a Macintosh? Stopped in Staples today and saw a good deal on a 1 TB drive, so I picked it up with the understanding I can return it. I have no past experience buying external drives. So I am looking for help. The drive has very little info on it, its only marked as a Seagate Expansion external drive. It uses a USB 2.0 for connection. Very little additional info. No mention of mac on the box or paperwork, the paperwork is very brief which is not very helpful. Hoping for some insight before hooking this up? Will it work and anything I have to do other than just plug and play? My quess is I will have to reformat? Any and all advice appreciated. D300 [/QUOTE]
