Not Mac ready as described
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 23/10/2009

I ordered one of these yesterday as it was described as being Mac ready. Received it today and it is PC formatted. DABS have now added a note to this point but still say it is Time Machine ready. It is not. Even the box says 'works great with Time Machine' with a "for Mac' sticker. But they have been reformatted for Windows. Not a great problem but this product is not as described!
