    Hi All

    Just wondering if this will work with the Mac?
    My friend is thinking of ordering it.
    It doesnt say what the format is FAT, NTFS etc.

    I never used a Mac but I'm presuming it shouldn't be a problem.

    As a side note do you think these are any good?

    Thanks in advance

    Will be grand for a mac, won't really matter what the format is as you can just reformat it anyway.

    Don't know who the manufacturer of the actual underlying drive is, but it is almost certainly one of (preferably)Samsung, Western Digital, Seagate or (preferably not, but still ok) Toshiba or Hitachi.

    It is not a bad price for walk in retail (and has an esata port) which may be a plus point for some, but similar drives can be picked up online for a bit cheaper.
