    the drive is good but the cord has a separate adapter piece which can reduce the quality of the file transfer maybe they can learn something from this and make it one whole cord.

    These new passports are much better in their construction that the old one that I had bought earlier this year. They are made with an aluminum case, rather than cheap plastic like my older one.

    External Hard Drive

    External hard drive that works as it’s meant to, comes with a good cable for high speed data transfer. Make sure to format it first, it’ll try to get you to download some sketch program, don’t do it, it doesn’t need it to work.

    It's definitely quicker to download then the older version. The way it's built seems to be made with good quality materials. I would definitely recommend it.

    Passport & iMac possible incompatibility.

    Advertised for compatibility with all latest Mac models but I had to disconnect it already twice because it interferes with the normal functions of Safari and Mail. For instance today I had to use disk utility first aid to be able to return it to normal functionality. If it happens again it will have to go. My system is Sequoia 15.5 which is the latest upgrade.

    I had purchased for a Backup Drive for chunk of data that needed off from HD. It's been reliable so far. Speed could be better, but understandable.
