tomerfromholon, Sorry to hear that. Have you called Apple tech support to ask for assistance? If not, it is worth a try. All I can tell you is that my Drobo with two Western Digital drives is working fine with Lion as is my Newer Technology RAID, which also has two WD drives in it. I just bought an external Seagate drive yesterday. It too is working fine.

Got a reply from WD:


"The external drive model "WD Elements Desktop" (model number WDBAAU0020HBK) is supported with the following clients according to the specificaitons:


- Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, Windows 7

- Mac OS® X, Tiger®, Leopard®, Snow Leopard™


Furthermore this unit is pre-formatted in NTFS files system which is not fully compatible for Mac OS. If you did not has re-formatted your drive yet to HFS+ or MS-DOS (FAT) file system, you would either need to do so to be able to use the drive under the supported Mac OS."


Does not seem to help much, though Lion not supported??
