    Bought this long overdue external drive to back up my old laptop, and I've had no issues with it. It took a while for the first sync, but since then all the backups have been fast and easy. The sleek design is a plus!

    If you have a MacBook Pro that is USB compatible, this may not work for you given the USB-C cord you are given. But since this is specifically formatted for Mac, it saves a step and is very convenient!

    I needed a backup drive for my Mac desktop. The salesman recommended the WD My Passport. It worked out of the box and continues today. Great external drive to ensure your data is secured and safely backed up.

    WD hard drives are the best in town. Plug in, backup or transfer any files at a super fast speed with the USB 3 connector. The encryption option is super helpful for confidential information.

    Works as advertised. Bought the external hard drive to set up as a separate bootable drive in order to setup an old work computer that was backed up through time machine. It worked absolutely flawlessly.

    We've found this My Passport a very good way to back up the info/data on our aging Macs. It is something we do on a regular basis so that if there are issues we'll have them backed up.

    I bought this to be my Time Machine backup. I plugged it in, tweaked a setting in Systems Preferences and it went to work on its own. It did install WD's disk utilities, which I haven't used.

    Great, small 1TB drive. Problem, on MacOS Majove, the disk reverts to not writable during the night. Have to remove the disk, unplug and replug to get it to operate properly. Not clear to me yet mwhether itmis mthe drive or the Mac software.

    I purchased this external drive to use as a Time Machine back-up for a new MacBook Pro. So far, so good... it does what it’s supposed to do, as back-ups have been completed successfully.

    The product comes with USB C and in combination with USB 3.0 works very fast although not as fast as an SSD. As long as speed isn't vital it give you mare space for your money.

    Needed to get something with more storage since macbooks have low storage, TYPE-C cable was the only reason why it was titled for MAC.
