Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great add-on for the MacBook with only a 256 hard-drive. Great price on a quality item.

very useful, its exactly what we needed and It is a perfect size.

Works just fine on MacBook Pro 13” M1 and the cable is made for the MacBook M1 Pro 13” and 14” as well as 16” and the MacBook Air 13”

The Mac pro is a plus even though I have entered a new learning curve. Best made it easy to purchase since in part there was someone w/ knowledge to explain - not just sell. I'm working through the credit plan but it looks pretty much straight forward & l'm alive w/ a great tool

This is an excellent external hard drive for Mac users. I would recommend it without hesitation.

I have been using this external drive to back up my data from macbook, transfer rate really fast. no problem so far. great buy!

Very fast . Took me a bit of research to figure out formatting for my Mac.

Worked fine for my mac and time machine. Had Macbook pro with boated battery, backed up PC. Restored to temp PC then got mine back and restored to that one as well. All good.

Easy to use, great computer backup for all things that can be lost.

Fast, large capacity storage for my MacBook Air & occasional iPad Pro devices. 4/5 stars only because I wish WD would not use a proprietary cable for their portable drives, adopt 2 way USB-C like most devices, makes connections much easier

This seems to work very well. If the computer as setup this would help greatly.

working good and no issues unit is working every day

WD pretty much owns the portable hard drive market so there aren't a ton of choices. Works as described and is pretty fast but boy is thing fragile. While editing in Premier, my laptop fell and it disconnecting from the port, and the outcome was catastrophic. A small common mishap led to paying $1000 to recover the data from the drive. Word to the wise - be EXTREMELY careful with this Ext HD! Back up to another drive, invest in a case, or something to give you peace of mind if and when this thing breaks.

data transfer is pretty fast and compatible with MacOS. definitely recommend other people

I've owned several of the various WD Passport models over the years. All have worked as expected. I used this one to make a copy of family videos for my daughter.

Really easy to use and operate. Was able to save all my photos and documents with ease.

Great device! Very reasonably priced and extremely compact.

Easy to hook up and does not take up a lot of room.

This external drive has definitely served its purpose. I’ll be purchasing another one.

Was not able to use old backup with the update to Catalina Os so had to purchase another. Nice small size, just plug in, took some steps to make sure it was backing up thru Time machine. Not a bad price but there will be a 5G on Blackfriday for $89. If only I hadn’t needed it sooner!!
