Don’t bother buying this product. While the drive seems well designed their support is non-existent.
I tried installing the drive in my network, blindly, as it does not include any documentation for Macs whatsoever. This drive is advertised as Mac compatible.
If you go on the website, it will direct you to input your serial number to download a software, for Macs, to manage your drive on the network. You need to know that your drive is called HD-CE1. 5TLU2, which is not that obvious when you look at the box or the manual. Anyway, it doesn’t work, it’s for NAS, which apparently this isn’t, although it says so in the box.
I finally managed to see drive in Finder and access it, but couldn’t copy or move files to it except through the terminal, using cp or mv commands. Applications could see the drive and open files but not write to it.
I called tech support several times, but wasn’t able to reach any one because of extreme wait times. I emailed tech support and was promised an answer in 48 hours, I am still waiting. I also logged various questions in their forum to no avail, the people there didn’t even look at my request.
I believe they are overwhelmed by reliability problems and cannot handle the excessive tech support needed to get their product operational.
I have returned it and since bought a Western Digital My Book World Edition 1 TB Network Attached Storage WDH1NC10000N (White) network drive (a little more expensive), which I plugged in and immediately showed up in my Finder, it allows me to access it through the Internet from anywhere and fully supports the Mac.
