The NTI Backup Now EZ only works with Windows, but the Canvio Desk itself also works with Macs, including the support for Time Machine. All you need to do is format it in the HFS+ file system.
Performance
I tested the Toshiba Canvio Desk with both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 and the drive performed well.
When used with USB 3.0, the drive scored 89MBps for writing and 104MBps for reading -- among the top four of USB 3.0-based external drives I've reviewed. When used with USB 2.0, the drive also did decently, with 26MBps, 33MBps for writing and reading, respectively.
The drive passed my tests without any hiccups and remained cool during the entire testing process. I noticed that it was also very quiet.
