Great for storing files
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This review is for WD 2T My Passport™ for Mac. I have been a long time Macbook Pro user and this portable external hard drive is extremely great for backing up all the important files in my laptop. I do most of my work using my Macbook so this is important to me incase something happens to my computer. It works great with Time machine. It is easy to use like any external hard drive. I like that my files are safe in this hard drive because it is encrypted and secured with password protection. This external hard drive is well built. It is portable so I can easily take it anywhere with me. Great product and must have for backing up important datas.

Great accessory to my laptop
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love My Passport for Mac. I transferred all my images, I take lots of pictures, have many generations of old family recipes and documents stored into my laptop hard drive, its a great way to reduce the space being taken up. Simply drag, drop files to and from the Mac/computer, organize the information and I'm able to share as well. You can also activate a password if you'd like. What a wonderful accessory to my laptop, its small, easy to store and keep on my small desk, easy to transport, easy to install. It definitely seems of great quality and durability. I would definitely recommend the My Passport Mac.

Works great for Time Machine backups!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Western Electric for years, so I was excited to try this new drive out. I needed a portable backup for my MAC and this was perfect. I connected this up and had Time Machine running on this in no time!
Pros:
Very compact and portable (a little bit taller than a standard deck of cards, but thinner), easy enough to fit into your pocket
Completely quiet, I have never heard a noise from the drive since using it
Works seamlessly with Apple’s Time Machine
The drive is very light-weight and dependable
Cons:
The cable they provide has an adapter to switch from usb to usb-c vs using just a having a standard usb-c ended cable.
Has no rubber feet to keep it from moving around
Overall this is a great product and I would highly recommend this to anyone!

Two Terabytes! I won't need to upgrade for a while
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little hard drive has changed my life. I have 512 GB of storage on my current MacBook Pro. But after pictures, apps, downloads, and files. I always have been getting the dreaded error message that if I want to continue I need to clear some room on the hard drive. Now all I have to do is plug this into my Mac and boom 4 times as much storage as I originally had. Plus it looks good and works exactly as I would expect. I would recommend this to anyone with a Mac, even if you are not out of storage yet. If you are a file hoarder like me that day will come and this will make your life so much easier. You won't have to make the hard decisions of which precious files to delete! Best Purchase Ever!

WD My Passport - A great backup drive for Mac user
I purchased a "My Passport for Mac" to replace an earlier version of the product that worked well for 5 years. Installation of the HD and WD software was simple enough. Apple Time Machine software initially performed the backup routine but stopped working after a day or two. It could be that I created a software conflict between WD software and Time Machine during set-up or the something else. In any event, deleting the WD software from my Apple HD fixed the problem and the WD backup works flawlessly in the background. I would definitely buy the WD My Passport drive again.

Worst Experience Ever - Security Password rejected
I bought the WD 5TB My Passport™ for Mac from Officework in January last year. I've been using it nearly everyday to keep all my important files in this external hard drive in the past 18 months. To my shock the hard drive rejected my password and I have no way to retrieve anything suddenly! Have read through all the support pages in WD website and got the answers about they have no way to recover the encrypted data in the hard drive. The only way is to format it or set a new password but all the data in the drive will gone. There's no constructive solution to help recovering my valuable data and WD just keep their hands off from the problem. Will never buy their products again.

Easy to set up
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The My passport 2 TB by WD is is a good portable drive I use it on my 10 year old Mac mini because it has a small drive. The drive was easy to set up with the usb wire that was provided. With its 2 terabytes I have plenty of space now for storage. It transfers files pretty quickly. And it small enough to put in your pocket. I recommend it to any one who needs extra room on their computer.

Don't buy - destroyed my Mac
Since trying to use this product, my Mac's fan has been running nonstop. Even dismounting the drive won't make it stop. Buyer beware.
