I believe two users here have indicated that the drive had problems with partitioning and sleep. That's not something I've seen with other drives, and don't quite understand how it could happen, but it's been reported. Others, though, haven't indicated any difficulty... and the users who were having problems might also have similar issues with other drives.
The most important thing is to properly partition the drive, even into one partition, with Disk Utility. Make sure you click the "Options" button in Disk Utility's "Partition" tab and choose the proper partition scheme for your Mac!

Excuse me for stepping in here, it might be incorrect to do so. I am absolutely new here. I downloaded SD an hour ago and was immediately aware that I might have ordered the wrong HD, not yet delivered, maybe it will arrive tomorrow. It is not an "My Book Premium Edition" as your answer above relates to, but an "My Book Pro Edition" WDG1T5000 500 GB a FW 800/400 HD. I cannot find any information about Oxford chipset and number. Any chanche of saying whether it will work or I should return it without opening the box? My Mac is a Alu-book G4 1,25 Ghz, OS X 10.4.10.
Thanks in advance.
