    This device is soooo easy to use. I plugged it in to my Mac and it quickly recognized it. I was able to just drag everything I wanted in and it saved it. It is quiet (the internal fan doesn’t buzz loudly) and it’s small so I can take it anywhere! I got the 2 TB one.

    I'm a loyal Western Digital (WD) customer. Over the years I have purchased half a dozen hard drives (both portable and desktop). They have never let me down and they work perfectly with Time Machine on my Mac.

    This brand has always worked well for me. Given the larger capacity of this drive, it is able to back up hard drives of 2 MacBook pro computers (each is a separate, bootable partition).

    I thought the Passport would be the answer to my storage issues with my MacBook Ar, however I am disappointed as it has not worked for me. However, I would recommend it to PC users. I will continue to work with it.

    Unfortunately this is not a SSD. So i use this as my second backup for my photos. I do not work off of this passport for fear like my last one the images could not be recovered because of over use. I learned my lesson and won't make that mistake again.
