Started transferring files right out of the box. It’s smaller than other external hard drives that I’ve had and the USB 3.0 is FAST!

Great external storage for Mac. Doesn’t require reformatting if purchase the Mac version. Good option for computer back-ups.

These Western Digital hard drives work really well. My hard drive came with a faulty cable however I reached out to B&H Customer Service and they quickly sent me a replacement cable at no charge. I would buy the same hard drive again.

My new computer has an internal 256GB SSD drive and that does not have enough space to hold all the Photos I take of Seniors, weddings, landscape, etc.. So, I looked and found this 5TB drive to have the space I need for my photo storage. Works great and does not require external power. Also, the small size makes it great to carry in my laptop bag.

This is a good drive for the money and has served me well in backing up all of my data.

This is the fourth passport I purchased for my large photo files. Works well, fairly fast and good price

This little jewel is about the size of a large cell phone. All I had to do was plug it in to my iMac and it started downloading the files. Took about an hour and a half. It comes with the necessary adapter so I had nothing else to buy. For the price I don’t think you can beat it.

Size is small, can bring it with you anytime. Quiet and fast!

Not an SSD external but a great 5TB external drive from WD as expected. Well designed, well built and B&H service earns the 5 Stars!

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.

For the money, this is a hard drive to beat. Reasonably fast and lots of storage.

The compact design provides for easy portability of a whopping 5TB in the package. I have two of these drives and alternate them as part of my streaming host. This allows me to load up new material on the “offline” drive, disconnect the “online” drive and sync their contents far quicker than it would take to load offline content to the “online” drive.

I filled my IMac’s 1 terabyte hard drive with trail cam videos and land pictures. Ordered this external drive and was pleased with the price, ease and speed of setup. Basically no setup other than directing my Apple Photo app to put all new pictures on this drive.
Dayton Kuvalis (verified owner) –
This external drive is exactly as advertised. It came quickly and very easy to set up and use. I returned one that did not work on my Mac and it was very easy to return and get my refund. B&H is a very good company to order from.

Easy setup in time machine.

The 500gb Passport drives I recently purchased will only be used for backups; so far so good. The drives arrived quickly and in great condition. I purchased the drives from B&H due to previous purchase experiences with them. I purchased various photography equipment from them back in the 70’s and 80’s. I have always had very good service and advice from their employees.

This product is reliable and easy to use. Reformatting it for use with my Mac was quick. It looks nice and is compact!
