Answer 1

re: Tiger2010 & OldSchoolApple:
To reply to two first-time posts, following a thread of slightly different
content, which original posting questions had been answered...
You should open a new thread containing your own questions and
cite your own circumstances; then the item would not appear to be
"answered" in the line-up of inquires in the Discussion your appears.
And, as users of Mac products, we cannot cite policy and have no
authority beyond unsubstantiated speculation (against forum rules)
to give you an answer regarding Apple Inc policy on their products
or any services you may have had performed by their agents; so
you may have to call Support or Sales support if your question is
about a product and you need a definite answer.
If you bought a product at retail, you probably have to take it back
to the point of sale, and discuss the matter there; or call ahead to
the store (or if Apple online, their main number in web page header)
to see about getting the matter taken care of under their rules.
Since you (both) +appear to have a mirrored-exact post and ask of+
+the same product+ I could easily surmise both were one person &
the answer here, from me would be the same. As Mac users, and
not employees or representatives of Apple, we can't answer policy
or return or credit matters. And there is a matter of protocol involved.
You may have to check for additional driver support from the drive's
manufacturer web site; to see if there is anything different. Or check
the software if any was included with the third-party drive, and read
to see if there is a reason to believe it is needed at all.
And, an answer does depend on what you intend to do with the product.
Some external drive units are best if they have their own power supply
and do not depend on the computer; and if they are to boot an OS X
from the drive, to install or repair the computer software, then be sure
the product you choose has the correct design within it to do so.
One answer would be to return the product and get something known to
be more supportive of use with a Mac, either Intel or PPC-based, per
the needs of respective circumstances and needs in each environment.
However that works out...
Good luck & happy computing!
