Will this external hardrive be compatible with Mac Yosemite?

Yes. It is not the operating system version that is the impediment to using this. You will need a Mac with a 3.0 USB port. It is not legacy friendly with 2.0. If you have such a Mac, this is a worthwhile investment.

I am using it with Mavericks but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work with Yosemite.

Yes, I actually move files between Yosemite and and earlier version without a problem. Until I figured I could file share between computers! Now I just use it to back up.

Hi John, it will works perfectly and if you want to make a backup using your Time Machine you only need to chance in your Utility Disk the status to -&gt; Mac OS Plus (registrer).

Yes this drive is compatible with a Mac. I plugged it in, opened up Disk Utility, formatted it (Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to be exact) and it's working just peachy. I even partitioned it, about half for backups and the other half for other stuff.

Yes, this drive will work with Lion and Snow Leopard regardless of how it attaches to the computer (USB or Firewire). Chances are, you'll attach via USB and it will work fine. If you see the word "Studio" in name, it's formatted by default to work with the Mac right out of the box.

I am running Maverick on my machine and using a Seagate Backup plus drive with 3 TB. The description specifically said that it was compatible with OSX 10.9.1.. Good luck.

Hi Gabby, I don't see why it wouldn't work. With an older Mac, you could prob use a smaller external drive though, say 500gb.

It will work with any machine that supports removable USB storage. If you want universal compatibility across the board, I would recommend use of exFAT over FAT32 if you have 4GB+ filesizes on individual files.You think any of those "Formatted for Mac" drives are any different from their Windows counterparts? Absolutely NOT! They're simply overcharged for being formatted as HFS lol. Also by calling Windows "Windhoes," you tend to make others not want to take you seriously ;)

It's compatible unless you want to create a boot drive. In other words, you can use it for file backup, including Time Machine according to someone else who reviewed it (I never tried), etc. What you can't do on Mac and the reason I returned it, is create a clone of your internal Mac drive from which you could boot in case the internal drive failed. One caution: this was true when I tried four months ago. I have not checked to see if Buffalo has made any changes since then.

I don't believe so. The box is compatible with fat 32 formatted and NTFS formatted drives, but not Mac formatted drives.

I have it installed under Yosemite 10.10.3 on a 2009 Mac Pro. It has been working well so far with no additional drivers (or power). I tested the speeds using Black Magic with the same drive connected to the Mac's built-in USB 2.0 and then on the Inateck USB 3.0. The speed difference was quite dramatic under USB 3.0, although I have been using the external drive only for Time Machine backups, so it is not a big factor in real-world use.

I don't have a Mac but all Flash Drives are or should be compatible. It's just the way you format it.

Can't see why not, it is Mac compatible and most likely not OS dependent. Double check the tech specs. The only issue I've had with mine was some type of overheating or other issue, couldn't access the drive and it did not show up in Finder. Next day all was well and has been since.

Yes, it will work on Macs. WD markets an additional drive specifically for Macs, but it's all a marketing ploy. They are interchangeable.

Works well on my 2008 MacBook running Yosemite. However, the USB to Cloud backup feature only works in Windows.
