I just got a Verbatim 320 GB/Go, USB 2.0. I have a MacBook running OSX (10.4.11). When I plug it in, there's a flashing blue light, no sounds or anything. According to the website, this only happens in Windows.

- Thanks, Chris.. I actually ended up returning it today and getting a WD My Passport Essential, which is working fine... I hear it's a common problem with Verbatim's products. No comment. :]

Hi,

First let me let out a LMAO to there website. Although the Windows and Mac operating systems are still somewhat different in how they work, the computer you're running OSX on IS a standard "IBM-Clone" or PC and therefore and potential hardware issues are identical regardless of wether it is running Mac or Windows.

The Blue light blinking generally means one of only two things, one the hard drive is active and currently reading or writing files, or two, it has a hardware problem. The fact the light is on usually means you have a good power supply but there are numerous other problems that could cause this.

If you just bought the drive and haven't got any data that is only on this drive, take it back to the store you bought it at and ask to have it replaced as a faulty drive. If you do have any crucial data on the drive already, respond back and I will be happy to offer advice on how to retrieve it.
