It was simple and I didn’t need to convert any files. Just transferred it right into the hard drive from my 2011 MacBook Pro and it was easy to do. My computer was lagging a lot so I saved my files through the hard drive to just in case the computer stops running and it seems to be working well.

Decent External Drive

I use my external drive to keep a backup of my computer and store large files such as photos to free up space on my Mac. I purchased this drive to replace a 5 yr old WD My Passport for Mac that unexpectedly failed. Thankfully I had another backup of those photos or I would have lost years of digital photos. Not sure if I'm smart replacing a failed unit with the same unit, but I'm giving it a shot and keeping a 2nd backup of all items again.

This product is so useful, especially for career individuals. I strongly recommend it for anyone that does anything electronic (programmers, audio engineers, writers). It's very compact and convenient, so you can take it anywhere. Overall a very well engineered product. I love My Passport!

This MyPassport drive functions very well. I have this version and the SSD version, and obviously the SSD version is much faster. For a standard HDD, this device works just fine and was easy to setup.
In short, if you need speed, spend a few extra dollars on the SSD version, otherwise, if it's just for utility purposes, this one will work just fine.

This hard drive has a sleek design, yet perfect size to fit your backpack without taking up much space. This hard drive is perfect for a daily driver and or file safe for backups of photos and or other important files! I couldn’t ask for more when buying a external hard drive!

Laptop wouldn’t function because of lack of space on hard drive. A great sales associate recommended this to me and gave me some great tips too! I save everything now to my Passport leaving the space I need for my laptop to run. My laptop is working like new again.

Fast and easy to connect and barely noticeable in my camera bag. It will fit easily in a slim pouch or sleeve in your bag and is also super lightweight. Note that this is specifically designed for Mac, this drive will not read when connected to a Windows based machine.

Usually when it comes to this brand or general models similar to the one I bought, the transition from Windows use to Mac use is difficult. And sometimes doesn't work at all. So I glad to be able to get a device that works amazing with my three year old mac.

I purchased a new Mac laptop and wanted something I could use as a time machine. This was recommended by a salesman and it's great. Easy to set up and light enough to carry with me when I am on the go. I have purchased others as backups and have had no issues.

Bought this for my MacBook Pro and it does a great job at backing up my computer. No issues, nothing extra to download. This is my second WD external drive and I've never had a moments trouble out of either of them. I would highly recommend this product.

If you take good care of this hard drive (DON'T drop it on the ground, I learned the hard way) then this will work like a charm! WD works very well with my Macbook Pro. It automatically backs up everything on my laptop whenever I plug it in. Highly recommend.

I can't offer the best comparison review, because I don't know much about these, but, this does the job in backing up my computer within a couple of minutes. Easy to set up out of the box and just plug in with my computer adapter for the Apple Macbook Pro.
