Hello everyone,

Newegg has a great deal going on these drives, 2tb, $100 shipped. I need to expand my external storage for media purposes, but I have read some mixed stories and trouble with Mountain Lion. I keep an offline duplicate of my media external in a safe, so I usually need two of these. I currently have two 3tb Seagate drives (previous gen) that have worked great for nearly two years now, but I am worried from what I have read.

Anyone have any advice, or had no trouble with them? From what I can tell, it is an issue with the USB 3.0 drivers in Mac having trouble with these drives. Naturally, I beleive if you have 1, 1.5 or 4 tb versions, you would have similar luck or problems.

Thanks!
