So far, this hard drive has been sturdy and easy to use. The setup process was also pretty quick and easy, and I was able to start using it without any issue.

I bought this in order to have a reliable, compact backup for my MacBook Pro Retina, which only has a 256g flash drive. That’s not enough but will have to do. I’m not spending the extra for 512 or larger, so I’ll learn to stop saving so many files. Or I’ll simply store them here on the 1TB drive. I may also investigate backing it up on the cloud, but I’ve had difficulties with internet connections and speed. I’d rather have my files at hand and back up files in the cloud.

Slow and not a great product. Unit sticks, drags and has not recorded some of the information I needed to store.

I plan to deliver a job on it. An edited video that will go to my distributor. Its not too large and heavy, so mailing it will be easy.
Lesly Franecki (verified owner) –
Works great, as expected, slightly louder than the 640Gb drive it replaced, minor really, but not quieter
Bobbie Flatley (verified owner) –
This drive is really fast, 3 times faster than USB 3.0. Worked great .

I purchased this drive to backup photos and videos on Aperture 3. However, the new Aperture Library was not readable on Final Cut X. That was the only issue I’ve encountered. I love the speed in which files are transferred even with USB 2.0. Purchased at BH for a great price.

I got exactly two backups and somehow my Mac could no longer “see” the My Passport, I have to try and reinstall everything to see if I can get Time Machine to work with the device again.
Gennaro Turcotte (verified owner) –
Well made. Designed for Mac Time Machine Use. What a breeze this was. All I did is hook it up to the USB port and click start. The rest was done. And, it came with a USB to HD cord that was very handy
Carson Gleichner (verified owner) –
So much quieter than other drives. No problems connecting to my Mac. Incredibly small. Excellent drive for me. Use it with Super Duper to back up.
Jannie Moen (verified owner) –
Simple, easy setup – ready to use in only a couple of minutes. USB 3.0 makes backing up through Time Machine quick and painless. Great item!
