I purchased the WD My Passport external drive for My MacBook Pro laptop. It mounted without any problem on the desktop and works very well to store large files on and not clutter up my internal drive. I have had very good experiences with Western Digital drives in the past and this one continues to meet my uses and expectations. The size and portability compliments my laptop and makes it easy to take in the field.

The external hard drive's power source relies on the power source of your MacBook. Do not attempt to transfer files with a low battery.

I have 2 of these, one for my 2011 iMac and one for a 2017 iMac (humble brag). Package comes with 2 cable to accommodate either setup, which I appreciated. I use these to back up the computers, and although the Mac hard drives are 1TB and the backup is 2TB, it fills up pretty quickly. Will probably spring for the 3TB or 4TB next time. Decently priced, too.

My WD Passport saved my MacBook. The MacBook uses flash storage so it fills quick with music and photos. The WB Passport gives my MacBook more storage than my PC. It is easy to use and small enough to skip in a pocket of my lap top bag.

I was looking for an external hard drive into which I could save everything from my computer. This hard drive made the transfer simple and easy. There is still plenty of space. It it also lightweight and easy to carry with me. Best price I found period.

Review for WDBLPG0020BBK-WESE. As soon as I connected it to the Mac, it was immediately recognized, and the MAC prompted me to set it up for Time Machine backup. It is that easy to use. It doesn't use an external power supply - it gets power from the USB connection. It comes with two cables: One is for traditional USB ports, and the other is for new USB-C ports in a Mac.

I had a couple of USB Drives lying around that were about 32 to 64 gigs. They all had important photos on them (hi-res) and they were all full. I have them on the drives and the computer, but for the sake of having everything in one place, I purchased this Passport. This version is already set up for use with a MAC, so there's no fooling around. It was plug in and start transferring pretty much. Small and compact and fits perfectly in my safe. Everything is on the MAC but after I lost 10 years worth of pictures when my PC hard drive failed a few years ago, I wasn't taking chances again.

Amazing amount of storage, and since it's designed for a MAC there is no fiddling around having to format. Plug it in, and it's ready to go. I also liked the price--very reasonable.

I purchased this HD for my wife's Apple G5 because the other two she has are full. I liked this drive because it has a small footprint also it doesn't need an external power source to power it. Once I plugged it in, her G5 saw it and away it went. I have not ever had an issue with a Western Digital HD for a MAC ever, they have always been solid. I did get this on sale which helped me make upy mind on the size.

My hands on Western Digital hard drives and accessories. I've been using WD hard drives for years, first with Windows PC and now with MAC, no tech skills required, just plug & play and you're ready to go.
This WD My Passport for Mac 2TB works SEAMLESSLY with Time Machine for system and files back ups, no special software, apps or even reformating is needed and this 2TB have plenty of space, just perfect for me.
Note that this version is ready for MAC OS only and verify that your OS vers. is compatible as specified.
