I have a WD Elements 1TB USB 2.0 on a 2 GHz 1.5 GB Intel iMac
10.5.6 and it has worked seamlessly for a year - no tricky
reformatting, just plug, disk utility (2 partitions), & use. Always
mounts, always available, always responsive.
However I am about to get another 1TB drive specifically for
storing iMovie files for later editing/compilation - I'm gathering
from the comments that a Firewire drive might be more stable for
all the video traffic?
Cheers,
Tony

Thanks Brian, I'm running 10.4.11 on a Power Mac G5. It wasn't a
good result for me. Should it be any different on an Intel model?

Hi,
Daniel Kerr supplied me with a WD My Book a while ago and it has
worked flawlessly since I formatted it
using the GUID option on my intel iMac. I don't remember having
to use any software from WD. Just formatted it
with Disk Utility.
Cheers

Hi everyone,
any recommendations for a 1TB hard drive that is readily
compatible with Mac & no need for extra instal procedures?
Officeworks have a 1TB Western Digital but they really don't
work with Mac. it was $179 @ the time but now $219.
I bought one a few months back (My Book or something similar)
& it just did not work without downloading a heap of stuff from
their site.
Also an internal 500 gig is needed. Is it PLE computers in
Wangarra? Roger mentioned them as a possible source.
thanks folks,
Ken
