Most helpful customer reviews 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Failed after 9 months By Daniel W. Nelson I bought this drive for my iMac (2008 model) and used it with Time Machine and it worked fine until it failed 9 months later. Disk Utility could not repair it. Sigh. 12 of 14 people found the following review helpful. DIDN'T EVEN LAST 4 MONTHS!!! By de la selva I bought this hard drive in March and put about 500 gigs of info on it and last week, when I turned it on, a message came up on my computer saying, "The disk you have inserted contains no volumes that mac osx can read. Initialize, ignore, or eject". Called Buffalo Tech's customer service and they said, "You could try Disk Warrior and if that doesn't work send it to a disk data recovery service." Well I shelled out $100 for the Disk Warrior software and guess what? It did nothing. So now I'm either going to be out another $300-$600, IF I should be so lucky that my data isn't lost forever. So a $150 hard drive has now turned into a $250-$850 dollar hard drive AND is utterly USELESS to boot... all in less than 4 months!!!!! 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Failed Twice By Alisa C Placas I was looking for a drive to use as my mac's Time Machine backup and was directed to this drive by a third party sales rep. It worked OK for a while, but eventually stopped running Time Machine and became unmountable. Disk Utility was not even able to erase and reformat it. I got an RMA from Buffalo Tech and they replaced it. The exact same thing happened to the second drive. My only option is to replace it again through Buffalo. I do not want this drive as I have no faith in it any longer and I am also out a great deal of time, frustration and the costs to ship both drives back to the manufacturer.
