    I purchased this item because I had to send my Mac in to have the battery replaced. Apple was very insistent that the machine be backed up for fear my information would be loss during the battery replacement procedure. The Passport worked flawlessly with Time Machine with no effort on my part other than to plug it in. So, in that regard, the device did it's job. However, my Mac was returned to me with no missing programs or files. So, for me, this was a wasted purchase as I have no critical information stored on my machine. I suppose if I did and something happened to my stuff this would have been an outstanding purchase.

    Can’t beat the quality and the price. Compact size and big internals, doesn’t take up a lot of space. You can even put it in your pocket if you wanted to. Even if you don’t find this on sale pick it up, it’s well worth it.

    Purchased for a client. As the client has a Mac and was doing self-setup, I opted for the Mac version for ease of use. Good amount of storage, options for standard USB and USB-C connection. Intended for backup purposes.

    Got this for Timemachine backup for iMac. I like the physical size, speed and capacity. Also has encryption option as well. I have several of these WD external drives for various purposes. The USB 3.0 is quite fast as well.

    Incredible device, Easy install, robust drive, premiere security, unmatchable drive. I had a Toshiba Canvio and that crashed in 6 weeks. No there drive compares with these in terms of fault tolerance

    This hard drive works right out of the box for a MAC without having to download any drivers to make it work. Perfect size for time machine to backup and used to restore on a new mac as needed.

    Slim. Works. Easy setup. Quickly recognized the computer and started formatting. make sure you format correctly as PC will not work with MAC and vice versa.
