    This is our second identical unit and everything is great so far. Needed external hard drives for our macs and these are super easy... just plug and set up time machine. Too easy and takes up little desk space.

    Bought two of these with my mac mini purchase; one for extra storage and another one just for back up. Small, quiet, inexpensive, and hooked right up with my Mac. Very happy with the purchase.

    It's not easy to review something that is best if unnoticed nearly all the time. I believe in the importance of this redundant cautionary technology--and WD is a reliable brand. It has a small blue light that blinks on/off to let you know that it's plugged in and trapping your every move on the computer. I bought it on store staff recommendation and have since purchased another one for a second computer. However, I've had no need or occasion yet to retrieve backed up information. I'm generally confident in the advice I get from store staff--especially from Geek Squad staffers. I am using Apple rated units on Apple products.

    Great way to offload documents and images from my mac. Very easy to use from the box. Is not compatible with PC out of the box - you would have to reformat.

    I love the Passport, it's small, runs off usb so there is no power supply to plug in and hold all my music, so when I travel I have all my music with me.
