Reliable, Stylish, and Built for Mac
This WD My Passport drive is exactly what I needed. It’s compact, lightweight, and easy to carry around, making it perfect for travel or on-the-go backups. The 2TB capacity gives me plenty of space to store photos, videos, and work files. Setup was a breeze on my Mac — just plug and play. Transfer speeds over USB 3.0 are solid, and I like the added layer of password protection software. The blue finish looks great and stands out just enough in my gear bag. Great value for the price, and peace of mind knowing my files are backed up securely.

Great for extra MacBook memory
I bought a 2020 13 inch MacBook Pro and it hardly has any space right out the box. I use this product as my primary source of memory and it runs smoothly. Decent price considering the options out there and it has a lot of power.
