I purchased this unit at BJ's two days ago and still have not been able to install it and get it to work on my Mac. I also sent a question to Toshiba via their website and have yet to receive a reply so this unit is going back! I went to BJ's again tonight for some other things and the Customer Service people were talking about how many had been returned and they just got them in! Too bad because this is the perfect size both in footprint and in storage capacity. If anyone has other suggestions for a replacement drive for me that will work with a Mac, I'm listening! Thanks.
