It is set for the older MAcs so one needs to override the settings when formatting on new PowererBook Pro. The 1 Tb is essential if you want it to sync with time capsule (which needs about 500GB allocation). great for travel and photography... Im always on the road and carry three with me. Love the size!

Was so excited to finally have USB 3.0 for Mac. But as you'll see their are some issues. Now you can download a driver from Lacie so that you can attach these along with their PCI-E usb 3.0 cards or their usb 3.0 expresscard/34 to your Mac ... It's all a fairly good idea. Be warned ahead of time a few things!!! One, to be fair I did know this before I bought mine, is that their USB 3.0 devices are propietary in other words you have to use Lacie products and download their Mac driver from their website not compatible with non Lacie PCI-E cards or ExpressCards/34... no big deal just buy Lacie, they're most of the time good products and fairly competitive in price. However the bigger problem for me is issue number two, when I plugged in this new Lacie Rikki USB 3.0 hard drive to my mac via Lacie's USB 3.0 ExpressCard/34 it just beeped and no drive showed up. I then tried uninstalling and reinstalling their driver. Same thing it just beeped and no drive showed up, I did know the drive worked ok because it plugged into my desktop just fine but I was really bummed about it not working on my Laptop as this was the main reason I bought it! [...]. It does mention inside the box on the back of a card, "Note: Mobile drives may require additional power. Visit ...(Lacie's website) to purchase a USB power cable for improved power." Lacie should Note: This is not visible from the outside of the box! and for their rep this cable is not included. This should also be something that sellers make a note of since they do not list this possible requirement anywhere in their description either. If I do get a free usb power sharing cable then I would probably throw in another star or 2 but this has been a little frustrating to deal with and I'd just like for people to know what they're getting. Other than that it seems to work fine although it is still brand new. We'll see if the usb power sharing cable allows me to use it via USB 3.0 on my laptop...it does work on USB 2.0

All I needed it for was to backup my computer. I have a macbook and just plugged it into USB, opened time machine, and backuped up computer. Pretty easy. You do have an option to register the hard drive, which I did, pretty easy.

I got this after upgrading to the MacBook Pro Retina, and wanting a USB 3 Clone drive that I could take with me while traveling. This one is perfect. Small, quiet, runs cool, and is quick.

Comments about LaCie Rikiki USB 3.0 (1TB):
I wanted something I could put my movie library on that was cool looking and fast. This was the first portable hard drive I ever purchased and my father loved it so much I had to get him one. I jut put my movies on and plug it into the blu ray player.Viola! Pretty fast and does the job. Only thing is when you delete from it you need to empty the recycle bin on your computer before disconnecting or files will delete.

Comments about LaCie Rikiki USB 3.0 (1TB):
I just use it with my Powerbook's Time Machine ap. Its pretty slow with USB 2.0 but its easy and quite and compact. I wish it didn't have what looks to be a proprietary usb cable.
Great price with great capacity.

Comments about LaCie Rikiki USB 3.0 (1TB):
The LaCie set up software would not boot from the attached hard-drive. I had to use the Mac OSX disk utility in order for the drive to be read and writable. USB 3 Transfer speed is not what I would call impressive. Backing up large files can take a bit. But, it is small, quiet, and simple elegant design. It is a decent purchase. Definitely nice for run and gun transfers.
