 Doesn't work with my Apple PowerBook G4 (15", 1.5 GHz) November 21, 2006

This drive doesn't work with my Apple (Aluminium) PowerBook G4 (15", 1.5 GHz). A single port USB power is not enough to power drive. Therefore, not really Mac compatible. You need a Y power adapter.

I'm another Mac user, but I can't say I share the experience as others here. I have a iBook G4 that I'm using this drive with and it's worked flawlessly. I've transferred a few Gigs of media files to the drive and work from it without any problems. More documentation would've been nice, I guess. I'm not one for reading manuals so I didn't miss the lack of paper.

I am having the same issue as the former reviewer using this drive with an aluminum Powerbook (Mac).... well, not using it is more accurate. I purchased the thing this afternoon because I needed to transfer work to my laptop for tomorrow... it's now 2:40 in the morning and I can't get the info off of the drive, so I will be up the rest of the night burning DVDs instead. Ugh. They really need to provide better documentation and note that it is too low powered for (certain?) laptops.

This drive doesn't work with my Apple (Aluminium) PowerBook G4 (15", 1.5 GHz). Single port USB power is not enough, this drive is trying to spin up, but cannot. So it constantly struggles to spin up until I disconnect it. And there's no separate power supply. Probably I need Y-type USB cable (two A-type jacks to one B-type jack), but unfortunately it's sold only in the US directly from WD, and I am far abroad. Could not find any single online shop which sells that cable in the UK or anywhere in Europe. So now I have nice and useless USB drive (because it cannot spin up)...
