    A friend told me that he had one so I went to Best Buy to buy one also. The person at Best Buy was very helpful by showing me my options. I have been backing up my Mac regularly and it is very easy. Fortunately I haven't needed to replace any lost files.

    Needed a reasonably priced solution to do Time Machine backups. My Mac had problems updating the OS, so I needed a full backup before I could wipe the machine and reinstall OS. My Passport for Mac was easy to install and works flawlessly.

    With the evolution of flash drive hard drives and laptops no longer having installed removable drives, USB hard drives are essential. This one was perfect for backing up my MacBook Pro and using the files/applications on my MacBook Air.

    I've been using Western Digital for years and have come to rely on their dependability and now with the smaller slim line space saving drives coupled with USB 3.0 I use this one for my backup drive...go Western for dependability :)
