Mac OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion) was released to the public in late July 2012. Seagate has evaluated current product lines to determine which ones are compatible with it. For our external drive products whose hardware is supported, Apple Time Machine is a very good backup solution.
Please note that all external drives should be disconnected while performing the update to Mountain Lion.
