The Seagate come will all the installation software on the drive itself - the mac recognised the drive in about
econds and automatically set it up with Time Machine in about a minute. I did not need to run the mac installation recommended by the Manufacturer. Time machine asked to erase the drive (format it to the mac format) to be used so I copied the factory settings onto the computer hard disk first.It is working very well, is small, discrete and has a nice glowing yellow access bar. Very cool. Ease of set up and initial reactions?
hopefully it will live up to its 5 year guarantee!
