Customer Ratings & Reviews

It does exactly what it was meant to do. A little backstory: I was extremely hesitant to try this brand again after such a horrible experience I had several years back with another one of their hard drives. I had to reboot and restore my older (at the time; newer) MacBook Pro and when I plugged in the hard drive it told me to enter a password to access my info. Well, the problem was, I had never created or enabled a password on that device and I still to this day have never been able to access my files. So you see how that could’ve put a sour taste in someone’s mouth. Now let’s jump back to today. It works, I saved my files and it was super quick to get it going on my MacBook Pro. To set it up to work with my Mac took no more than 2 minutes. Granted I’m much more content heavy than I was back then, so I wasn’t able to set it up as part of the Time Machine as it’s too small of a memory to save it all, however, all of the items I did save was there, as soon as, I plugged it in. I did try to check the writing speed for over 440+ video transfer but I unfortunately couldn’t after I realized that the files had stopped transferring due to the dongle that we now have to attach to newer MacBooks (if we need to have multiple things plugged in at once), failing to stay connected. So it was no fault of WD. But as it was estimating the time, it wasn’t that bad approximately 20-25 mins. I do appreciate the two connectivity options with the USB-A or USB-C cords that are included. All in all, I would recommend it. Years have passed, technology has gotten better and I now feel confident that this WD drive won’t have me dead in the water. Only time will tell, but so far so good.

Bought this product for backing up data to ensure no data lost when upgrading computers. Love it! Small compact easy to use. I might have to buy another :)

Great buy and best way to keep a second back up if our family photos. Plenty of storage space for all photos taken and easy to back up from our phones as well for personal or work documents . Its a great feeling knowing if something happen to our phones we could lose of those great photos to go with all those great memories of the kids and grandchildren.

Works great. Seems sturdy. Nice color. Fast transfer speed

Works perfectly with Mac and was able to store all my photos

To be clear, I am not reviewing the backup software included with the hard drive as I have a method of backup that I rely on and personally prefer. This review is more about the speed, functionality, and aesthetics of the device. All three are exactly where you wuold want them to be. My MacBook is older and only has USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt. This device utilized virtually the full 5 GB bandwidth of the USB 3.0 throughput. I'm primarily going to be using this drive as portable storage and was very pleasantly surprised at how compact and light it was while still feeling sturdy. Overall this is a great 2 TB had drive and I'd definitely recommend it, especially if its on sale.

Nice compact size and plenty of storage. Attractive color

Disc functions well, works automatically and is no trouble.

The WD My Passport is a great drive for your Mac devices, it comes ready to be used on any Mac device right out of the box. If you would like to use it on both Mac and Windows, it will require formatting but it is simple to do if you would like to use it on multiple devices. But, if you only plan on using it on your Mac devices it works right out of the box and is packed with tons of extra features to make your experience great.

The My Passport for Mac 2tB is an awesome little drive. Plug it into your Mac (or iPad Pro with iOS 13 coming in Sept 2019) and it fires right up allowing you extra storage. The small profile (it’s very compact) makes it perfect for frequent travelers. The inclusion of an USB C cable was a great addition for those with recent MacBooks. Overall, couldn’t be more happy with this drive.

This is a really well-built external drive that can fit anywhere! It is so slim and sturdy that I throw this on my school backpack without a case or protection and I don't worry about it getting damage. My only complaint is that I wish it was faster. Although it does connect through a USB-C port to my MacBook Pro, I wish it was a little faster. I used the external drive to back up my files with TimeMachin and it took about 2 hours to back up 145GB of memory. Overall, if you have the patience and don't need a lighting fast external drive, this will do the job!

It's a portable drive already formatted for MacOS, not much else to it. Smaller backups don't take very long, 6GB took maybe 15 mins. My other SSD backup does it a bit quicker, but since it is a passive action, the duration shouldn't really matter. I would avoid using WD's encryption. It works of course, but why bother when Time Machine has it built in? You can't unencrypt the disk without their utility already installed so you might as well stick to what MacOS offers, it's more streamlined.

Like any other hard drive from Western Digital, this works great right out of the box. Fast transfer rates from my USB-C Macbook Pro and the utility lets me manage both my My Cloud Home and this hard drive (as well as all other externally collected drives) in one easy-to-use Mac application. I highly recommend this hard drive!

Great device for backing up important data. Price is right.
