Great product, great price.
The new one arrived and I started setting it up on the mac - exactly the same thing, so I called WD support this time since it just seemed like I was doing something wrong (and I'm not really a mac guy but usually stuff 'just works' on the mac). The support guy answered quickly and was nice enough. He confirmed that I was doing the correct process. We tried it on the PC, same thing as before - I could format it but then it vanished from windows explorer. The support guy said this was a "LEGACY" product and that WD was not even releasing updates for it anymore. Yet, here it is on Amazon as BRAND NEW! The support guy said I should return it again and get something more modern to use with my mac.
I'm disappointed in the fact that this thing doesn't work (x2) and it seems like it's more of a firmware issue than anything else, not keeping up with recent IOS or Windows updates. But even more than that, I'm disappointed (actually kind of pissed) that I lost the opportunity to buy something else that might have actually worked on Black Friday and saved some money which was what I was trying to do in the first place.
