Perhaps this has already been posted, but I am using a my pass port one TB external. I think I paid 84 dollars from the flash memory store. It runs off the USB port on my mac book pro without any power supply. It will also work on a windows machine I cannot say anything about the included software since I have not used it, but thus, far I have had no issues using the lion or mountain lion disc utility with this drive. It is fast and quiet. Also, it will support USB 3.0 though no fire wire, or thunder bolt.

For an external drive, I would recommend sticking with a traditional platter hard drive. JMO.

I bought a 128GB SSD drive, only to learn that a Mac could not write to it. It was bad enough that I couldn't find an SSD drive with FireWire ports, but to find a drive that could only be written to buy a Windows computer? This was absolutely unacceptable. Does anyone know of an SSD drive with FireWire ports that can be used by a Mac? > Thanks, > Kevin > > Sent from my iPhone > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
