[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 951794, member: 8287"] I use a WD, Seagate, Iomega Mad Dog, CompUSA (Stinks) and another external with all my Macs. Never an issue with any of them. One is a 1TB. A friend has a Seagate 1TB. He likes it. I tried it on my iBook G4 and it came right up. Is this drive just to be used on the Mac with OSX? If so be sure to open Disk Utility and format it in a Mac format. What Mac model do you own? You said G4? If it's a Powermac and it has a Firewire port and the Seagate model has Firewire, you will get much faster performance if you use Firewire. [/QUOTE]
