## Description

Buy

Review: As described, up and running without bother. - Thanks to all previous buyers who kindly answered my question about the power source for this external hard drive. As the last time I bought a terrabyte hard drive was in 2009 I was pleasantly surprised how compact this WD is. It arrived well packed, a day earlier than anticipated and is now functioning as expected, as my iMac Time Machine backup, replacement. Plug it in --- off it went. First download about four hours, but after this it will be just topping up. Simplicity itself. And quiet. Looks like a very satisfactory piece of kit, but as with all these things, time will tell.
Review: Works Right Out Of The Box. - Hooked this up to an IMac via a USB 2 port (even though the USB port on the drive is USB 3, it is backward compatible with USB 2) and it worked perfectly right out of the box. There's a single LED showing drive activity which is located at the back of the drive where you cannot see it. Hmm! Somebody didn't think that through did they. I cannot comment of the speed of the drive when it is connected to a USB 3 port on a Mac since I have it connected to a USB 2 port. What I can say is that copying about 1.8TB of files onto it took about 20 hours. As a backup drive it's superb and it is also pretty quiet. Thoroughly recommended.

## Features

- The My Passport for Mac portable drive is trusted to store the massive amounts of photos, videos and music, USB 3.0 / USB 2.0 compatible

## Questions & Answers

**Q: come with cable?**
A: It does come with a 15in cable which I find OK when I want the drive right next to the Mac. The cable is a USB 3.0 A to Micro B. It's easy enough to get a longer USB 3.0 cable and I have a 3ft cable that works well for me. Hope this helps.

**Q: Can I automatically backup using Time Machine?**
A: Yes. I use my Passport for Mac as my MacBook Pro backup device and it uses Time Machine automatically. It's seamless, simple and a perfect device. Well worth it.

**Q: Is this an SSD or spinning hard drive?**
A: This is a conventional spinning hard drive inside the case. Hope this answers your question finally...

**Q: My mac laptop pro is older.  does it work on 10.7.5?**
A: I also have this question

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Backing up and Achieving
*by P***. on 18 September 2017*

I like using these external drives as a backup and archive for my Mac and PC. It is best though, to keep a dedicated WD passport to be used with Time Machine. Also Time Machine does try to back up to one of my other drives, you just need to say no to it, but you do need to re-select Passport again afterwards re-intiate automatic backups. Backup is easy, you just plug the Passport into the Mac and wait. What could be simpler. But always allow backup to complete before doing anything else. The Passports works well with my PC laptop too, when I render films to them. I do keep my Mac and PC drives separate though. I use USB memory sticks to pass files between my PC and Mac. I do stress, I buy the right format Passport drive for my Mac or PC. One most important golden rule; always eject the drive with the computers software before disconnecting. If the drive won't eject, turning off the computer has always worked for me. Over all I well satisfied with the WD Passport drives, and so far have five of them for different purposes and will buy more of them in the future.
