    Works great to back up files and it's nice it came with a USB plug and a USB-C adapter to work on older and new MacBooks. Ordering online and picking up at the store was very convenient.

    Wow this is an amazing external hard drive. I had never backed up my MacBook before and wanted to make sure I got a great external that wouldn’t corrupt the files as I was moving them over to a new MacBook. I also didn’t want to spend a ton of money on it since I only need to use it once every few years. In the store I was debating between 2 different hard drives and asked an employee what the difference was and he answered my question very thoroughly but even better he actually pointed me toward the Apple section that carried the same hard drive but in a version specifically designed for MAC OSX. Very happy with this purchase

    I began using this external hard drive to back-up my iMac in the fall of 2019. I was able to easily integrate this with the Apple Time Machine app. Recently my iMac's internal hard drive began failing. I replaced the internal hard drive ,and was able to easily load everything from my external WD-My Passport for Mac (2TB) hard drive. No data was lost.

    Small, light, packs easily, and provides 2T of storage space. So much cheaper than what it would have cost to buy a MacBook Pro with 1T of hard drive space. Been using external hard drives for storage for years.

    Best is always my "go to" for electronic items. This external drive is hard to get fast, but I walked into Best Buy, Lake Geneva, and walked out with the product. No waiting for delivery from a warehouse, etc..

    Even though this is still a spinning drive, you can't beat the economics of this device. You're really not compromising much considering the savings over an SSD. Just be sure to have it stationary BEFORE you plug it in and always wait for it to spin down after you've unplugged it and BEFORE you lift it off the surface and start moving it around. It will last MUCH longer if you follow these simple guidelines.

    As advertised, very compact size, simple plug in play installation. 2TB is perfect for the average person with room to grow. I only used 1/8th the space for everything I need to save. Bought 2, one for my files, one dedicated to Time Machine backups. We'll see how long it lasts...
