Title: The good and bad with a Mac
Review: I bought one a while back to be used with my Imac. I picked this because they had this auto on and off feature.The good: depending how you position it is makes very little noise. They include both firewire and usb cable.The bad: The auto on and off feature works only with USB. I played a lot with it but it never switches off when connected via firewire. In the end this didn't bother me too much so I bought a 2nd one hoping to use my 2nd firewire port or daisychain both drives which should work per WD website. However as the drives share the same firewire ID the mac can not handle this and will not recognize the drives when both are connected. So I ended up with one drive on my USB port, switching on and off automatically and the other connected via firewire always beeing on. Daah.So my recommendation if you are using a Mac is do not bother to pay extra for firewire even though it seems to be a tad quicker then the USB connection and spend the money on a USB hub.
