5 out of 5 stars Performance Data.......2008-01-10

Similar connectivity findings to both previous posts but to help with limited performance data posted anywhere (especially FW800) here are the results of initial tests using a MacBook Pro with Internal 200GB 7200 HDD by copying a 2GB MPEG:

USB 2.0 - 22 MB/s
FW400 - 31 MB/s
FW800 - 50 MB/s
eSata - not tested

5 out of 5 stars Fast, quiet and support were really helpful.......2008-01-10

Bought this for new intel based iMac 24" as an external drive, to store pictures and video files. When first plugged in the iMac did not recognize the myBook. Called the help desk (Europe) and they were very honest saying that there are issue with Leopard OSX 10.5.1. So the button manager does not work. (It will not work with Firewire 800 anyway, as advertised in booklet). Anyway, set it up and if you follow the procedure properly, the iMac eventually recognized it through Firewire 800 and it is indeed REALLY fast. In fact, it seems faster in transfer between iMac and myBook than between folders on the internal HDD! GREAT.....also like the 3 year limited warranty. Finally, looks gorgeous in brushed aluminum. One slight issue at the moment. When I shut down the iMac, the front light pulses every 20-30 seconds as on standby. This issue will be resolved when the firmware updates and Leopard updates in due course (I am told by Euro-help).

4 out of 5 stars Great, but make sure you plug it in correctly........2008-01-05

This is a great drive: fast, and fairly quiet too, but I came close to returning it when it arrived as it appeared not to be working at all when connected via FireWire. It seems that it needs to be connected to the power supply before the FireWire cable or it won't be recognised by your Mac. That small quirk aside there have been no problems at all and it makes a great Time Machine drive.
