I love this Hard Drive! I own 2 and one is over 2 years old and i have never ran into issues

Love my new WD HD! With it coming pre-formatted for MAC OS, I went from unboxing to MacBook Pro backup configuration in less than 3 minutes. It’s whisper quiet and doing its thing in the background. So glad I upgraded to this drive that needs no external power supply…beautifully simple!!

This drive did the job and was easy to acquire. It was as a good value.

I capture a lot of images…as a photographer I’m confronted with the issues, such as culling photos, backing up and the finished portrait (better not lose those). I find this Xternal HD a must. It has proven to be a lifesaver!

Works with windows easy enough with minimal setup and came with a mini usb to USB an adapter.

Bought in Oct 2023 and moved years worth of stuff onto it. Haven't used it since March 2024, then plugged it in today, Sept 7, 2024, and got a popup saying "macOS can't repair the disc" and that I need to reformat it as soon as I can. I won't be doing that, since I can't trust this piece of garbage. Going back to Seagate, transferring this drive, and then I'll try to get my money back for the inconvenience.

Had the hard drive less than a month and it went bad. The light would come on and I could hear the motor working in it but my computer never recognized it. This is the 3rd one I’ve purchased and they all did the same thing. Used on MacBook Pro 2015

These drives have a problem where they will show "zero" files on the drive, even though your data is on the drive. (see pics) They will not unmount to run disk first aid, and you must either restart your machine or do a forced eject. Once you plug the drive back in, your files will be visible and the drive can be written to and works normally... for a while. They it happens again. I'm running a new iMac with Ventura. WD has no answers for this known problem, nor does Apple, and they both say to take the drive back to Best Buy and get a different brand.

Easy set up and compatible with our older iMac and newer iMac desktops. Loading it up with thousands of pics and videos of our family and have had no issues accessing and uploading to online services for ordering purposes.

Easy to use right out the box. Plug and play. Waa able to back up 250gb on my mac in a matter of 20-30 mins. Have lots of family photos , videos. Although I have the icloud and google photos , you can never have your precious memories backed up enough.

Great storage! So much space for everything on my laptop.

Compact, easy to setup for an extra drive for storage and to transfer items from my old computer to my new computer. I especially like that it came with an adaptor for USB-C to USB-A. I've had two WD My book for 10 years, so I tried this compact drive with more storage capability. I hope it lasts as long as the others.

I was very pleased with this b/u drive. It’s pre formatted for Mac computers and has USB C connection as well as an adapter for old school USB. The price is good for 4TB of storage.

Solid drive at an affordable price. I needed to send a project archive to a client and this was a perfect option.

These are always my go-to hard drives. Absolutely love them! So easy to use, and perfect for a photographer with a massive catalog of photos.

Great portable drive for external storage from WD. Small size and weight make it easy to carry around on business trips. Better integration with Apple’s Time Machine for backup would be great though Windows features are good ;)

If you need the space and you have time, this drive is for you. It is SLLLOOOWWW! Compared to the many SSDs that are readily available. But if you need a bunch of space for a lower $ this is a great solution.

Before I purchased this product I did a lot of research. I wanted something small with a lot of storage available for my growing needs. At the same time I wanted something easy to use. I wanted something I could plug in, set up and use Time Machine to automatically back up for me. WD - My Passport Ultra for Mac does all of this! It's exactly what I was looking for. Easy to use. I definitely recommend it!

Its capacity exceeds my needs. Its price was right. It is small and convenient to carry with laptop.

I had to buy one for school and at first, I had some trouble connecting it with a windows computer but if you got a Mac computer you can change the settings to make it work and it works great with my iPad too.
