## Questions & Answers

**Q: is the cable compatable with an older model 2011 MacBook pro?**
A: It should be compatible with older Macs - which means no USB C. In my case it came with either an USB- C to A adapter or C to A cable.

**Q: Does it come with a usb-c to usb-c cable?**
A: cables are included

**Q: Will this plug in and work on a 13" mac book air early 2014 laptop using osx version 10.9.5?**
A: yes i used it on my macbook air from that same time.

**Q: Is the my passport for mac compatible with ventura os/**
A: I've owned 2 passports for Mac and they both worked good for a year and then quit although they would still work on a PC. Not worth the hassle to me and will never buy another WD product. I want a backup I can count on. so went to USB flash drives. Your mileage may vary.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ RECOMMENDED! Absolutely amazing deal.
*by V***O on 20 January 2020*

Honestly, all I can say is WOW. I was doubting this because of the price, but the reviews made me risk getting this hard drive. I needed this to connect to my PS4 as it ran out of storage. Came on time, the packaging was great, brand new and all. You cannot find a deal like this elsewhere. The price for this is an absolute steal! Well done, thank you!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product for the price
*by A***D on 29 December 2019*

This is my second purchase. It's connected to be laptop 24/7 I use it to store all the movies and tv show. Read/write speeds to ok. Never had any problems. Good product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good option if you need extra storage, but not very fast read/write speeds
*by A***A on 22 April 2021*

This is an okay product in today's standards. If you need somewhere you can store your files that you don't want to delete, this is one of your options. Keep it my its not very fast so don't expect the speeds you would see in sandisk extreme and samsung t5 & t7 storages, those are quite phenomenal. This however, its okay but not really great. It works, but it won't impress you. Also I believe it has moving components during operation so be careful when handling or else you risk corrupting it.
