    Very pleased with this external portable hard drive. Setting it to back up our Mac desktop was quickly conducted, transfers data very quickly, and the encryption and password protection features are great. Plus the brushed silver finish matches perfectly to the other Mac accessories and monitor finish.

    It works great with my MacBook Pro (mid 2009). I backed up on OS 10.6, upgraded to 10.10, and I've had no problems assuring that all of my data was saved and transferred. Since the upgrade I've backed everything up on 10.10 and it's still worked perfectly.

    Needed something simple and fast to back up MacBook. Also wanted something small and portable. The WD passport fits both criteria at a reasonable price. Very quiet and good speed for transfers. Works right out of the box with Mac's Time Machine. Overall, very satisfied with performance.

    The drive works right away and it is great to archive all the unnecessary information off my air. It also comes with backup software that is made for my mac and other utilities that I have not used but at least I know it is there. I use it encrypted and it is still very fast.

    My previous WD external HD backup was causing some problems with my new iMac and decided it was 7 years old and needed to be replaced. This was a perfect replacement. Only wish I knew of the special pricing for the larger capacity model the next day.

    First time ever using an external hard drive, so I didn't really know what to expect. Definitely wasn't expecting it to be as simple and straightforward as it ended up being. Would definitely buy again if I end up needing another.

    This will plug and play with a MacBook. It can be re-used for a PC with a simple formatting trick. Connects well. I hope it doesn't get lifted at the Law School library like my favorite Callaway pullover.

    Using this external hard drive was so much easier than I imagined. Just plug it in and drag over the files you want to save. I used it to put about 3,000 pictures into storage when I bought a new computer.

    Just the thing for a Macbook Air. All you do is plug it in and it starts doing backups. I haven't tried restoring anything from it and hope I don't need to, but I've had good luck with other WD products.
