Title: Lousy software, impossible to connect to on a Mac
Review: This isn't really the fault of the drive itself, but the Maxtor "Easy Manage" software is awful! If the drive goes to sleep or is disconnected from the computer for whatever reason, I have to turn the drive off and on multiple times to get the software to recognize that it's there. I open the Easy Manage tool and it doesn't even attempt to find the drive. I have not figured out how else to mount it on my OS X machine or how to get the drive to wake up other than powering it down or unplugging the network cable. There seem to be no options to set the sleep time, or anything like that. Unfortunately I already have my data on it and think it's past the return date.
Is the review positive or negative?
