6TB My Passport for Mac, Navy, Portable External Hard Drive with Backup Software and Password Protection, USB 3.1/USB 3.0 Compatible - WDBK6C0060BBL-WESN

Update: It stopped working and I ordered a replacement because I love it! First, let me say I love my MacBook Pro and it is my baby. Everything I hook up to has to be an item that I trust. I have completed a lot of research on external hard drives. The majority of them have to be formatted to even work with the MacBook. This WD 2TB My Passport for Mac Portable External Hard Drive does not need to be formatted. Also, I do not need an adapter for it to fit. This is specially designed for Mac and Time Machine and USB-C and USB-A compatible and Password protected. It is just so easy to use. It works straight out of the box. I use it to import and export movies. Also to store photos from my computer in order not to use up my storage or in case something happens to my computer. It is also small for me to carry on the go easily. This works so easily and I am happy I did not have to set up anything else to make it work.

I've had this now maybe over a year, no issues great external drive that I use to backup my laptop. WD has always been reliable for me

I really like Western Digital hard drives. I have a couple of these external drives that I use for backing up our computers, and have never had an issue with either. These are high quality products. Easy to set up, although it would be nice if step-by-step instructions were included. That being said, I was able to figure it out. The backup capability is exactly what I needed.

My first WP Passport drives a few years ago had the silver bodies with the rounded corners, and so far they have worked quite well, the next generation was a little bigger, back, with what seemed like a casing made of two segments, one about two thirds, the other about one third, of the length. The activity light was a bright rectangular horizontal LED. In some of those the join of the casing was not rigid where the two segments met, although I don't know if that affected functionality. Some of them vibrated a good deal when operating and one recently failed and froze up my computer when attached, although I'm not sure the reason. Disk utility repair did not work. Luckily I had the original drive--the silver rounded corner version, that this was a copy of but I had to waste a new disk drive of that two-piece version to make a new copy, which took about 16 hours. Getting back to this current design, of which I purchased two 4 TB drives, I don't know how it will work, but they are recognized by my computer, and have fairly low vibration. Physically they seem to be of a sturdier construction than the last design, they are about 1/8 thinner, top to bottom, and about 1/8 inch shorter. One thing I don't particularly like is that they have no foot pads as previous ones did, however minimal they were, so these clunk down on the hard surfaces and can slip around more. Also, if you go by the side that has the label plate, which on previous versions is always on the bottom, the position of the port for the cable is reversed, so instead of being on the left side of the end and is now on the right side of the end, and the direction of the cable plug must be turned the other way to fit. Another thing is the previous generation had a rather large horizontal LED activity light, whereas this has a very small, fainter circular LED opening, but still adequate.

Perfect to download large volume data in minutes. Easy and fast.

This external hard drive got corrupted after only two months of use. I have lost over 12,000 photos as well as other personal files. I have worked with a data recovery service who said "that when they ran the data recovery tools there were too many failed sectors to continue the recovery. Also that the HD has weak read/write heads, which require replacing parts from a donor drive". The data recovery would cost me $975 which I cannot do. I could not return through Amazon because it is past the 30 days. I called Western Digital and they told me I could get a replacement. They also referred me to their customer "Community" which I went to, and found that the majority of the community is totally dissatisfied with this product. I therefore asked if I could pay for some kind of data recovery warranty on the replacement drive and they said they don't have that. Since I DO NOT trust this product I then asked for a refund, which they have refused. I have also gone back out to Amazon to intercede about the refund. Oh, and may I add that it has been 3 weeks and I still haven't gotten the return label from WD. Terrible customer service and website!!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

Great product high quality and to save your work you better pick a product that you can trust - and the WD Passport it’s not my first one and it never fails! Highly recommended!

Perfect to use for backing up my MacBook Pro!

A well trusted brand. Easy setup and use, with useful features like password protection. Quality build, though slightly on heavy side for the 5TB Mac version.

Die WD My Passport for Mac (2 TB) ist für mich der ideale mobile Speicher am Mac. Sie ist gut verarbeitet, kommt ohne Netzteil aus und wird bei mir zuverlässig erkannt – anstecken und loslegen. Für eine HDD ist sie ausreichend schnell (Backups, Dateien, Fotos etc. absolut okay) und insgesamt stimmt das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis für mich richtig gut. Fazit: Solide, unkomplizierte Mac-Festplatte mit fairer Performance – klare Empfehlung.

Muy buen disco, a la fecha sin ninguna falla.

Son muy buenos discos, por desgracia si los llegas a golpear despídete de ellos, así que cuídalos mucho, El nivel de seguridad es bastante bueno

It wasn't working 1st one. Keep disconnecting and very slow to transfer files. Returned and received replacement in 4 days. It is very fast and stable. Very good product. I recommend it.
