Great value at $100 for a 250-GB drive. I've always owned Maxtors but bought this inexpensive drive to back up my new glorious iMac-20".

Got the drive on Monday. Put on the four little feet; plugged in power (no problem with my power-plug); plugged in the included Firewire cable; and, MacOSX 10.4.7 immediately recognized the drive. I reformated and partitioned the drive with "Disk Utility", then cloned a Bootable backup with "SuperDuper" (my favorite backup utility for MacOSX).

Fast, quiet, and inexpensive. I'm very pleased with the purchase of this drive. USB-2 capability is nice, but like everyone says, USB-2 a lot slower than Firewire.

Not one problem encountered using with iMac. Everything works as advertised, so far.
