  • Plug in, and walk away!
Capacity: 4TB Style: USB-A ready
Note: If you read nothing else, you can get your user manual here: wd.com/docs (I read it in the fine print in the material that arrives with the drive) I've waited WAY too long to back up my Mac computers. I remember reformatting drives in the past, and it was no fun. I decided to pick up the 4TB version of this drive and give it a try. I knew to expect the first backup to take a while, so that was no problem. What I liked was that I was able to plug in, and the time machine immediately opened to start a back up. I just waited until it started, then walked away times... I am now using this as a time machine for two different mac computers. After backing up two computers, I've still got 3.65 of 4TB free. I thought about getting the 2TB, but am now glad that I did not. I did purchase the $9.99 warranty through Amazon, only because it includes data recovery (wasn't clear if the WD warranty would). I do expect this will stop working one day, but I think its the best of the devices I reviewed. I hope to never need to use the warranties, but I'm glad they are there. I'd get this you have even ONE Mac Device. I don't feel a need to backup my Android phone because I have google photos, and much of my other stuff is backed up on Google Drive. Finally, I stored it in an old external hard drive case. Its super tiny, so it can be neatly stashed on a bookcase. I'm sure you've heard its important to go gentle on your drive. Hope this works well for you! ... show more

  • For now and hopefully a good while..
Capacity: 2TB Style: USB-A ready
... it will continue to work. I put off buying one of these because I really wasn't that worried about it but the more I was investing in programs, I decided to stop being cheap and do it. This particular model, in this size seemed to have the most consistent and best reviews even though I wanted the shiny cool aluminium one. Needless to say I downloaded mega photos and music to it as well as backing up to time machine. (I try to do it at least, daily) Anyway, sure enough as I was trying to drag a wad of photos from Dropbox to the Photos program one night, I destroyed the Mac's photos program. So after many hours of reading tutorials I got angry and decided to use this back up drive to reverse my computer back to the way it was the day before. It didn't take as long as I thought plus it was a complete mirror image and all I had to do was resign in a few places and do the fingerprint thing again. So, yes, I am very glad I bought this item and it has already saved my a**.once. Will def by another for my mega music library. Also the fact it is was instant plug and play for a Mac was a huge bonus. It does come with a cord but will not plug into the newest MacBook Pro unless you have a dongle to make it compatible. Just FYI and they aren't that much. ... show more

  • WD drives have served me for YEARS and I've never felt better about buying their products again.
Capacity: 1TB Style: USB-A ready
I used to buy Seagate products - until they totally hosed me with a faulty product that stopped working in 3 months and then refused to admit the poor quality of their products or help me recover my data - a total shame since it used to be my 'go to' choice in the past. No more. I even have an older iOmega drive that hasn't failed for over a decade, but not Seagate. I found that Western Digital was always good in the past and is even better now. They are my GO TO drive of choice for a couple of years now. The drives are sturdy, well-built, fashionable - and most importantly, reliable! I have three WD drives now - each of a different data capacity - one for Mac and two for other platforms. They don't fail - they chug along happily - don't get hot and don't make me feel insecure about my data - EVER. I've had two of them for YEARS now without failure. The Mac drive is new, but the Mac is, too. I have learned to trust WD with my data and I've never been let down. I might suggest that people also buy a protective case for any external drive - it doesn't cost much - and it just gives you that extra level of feeling your data is protected - but that is just IMO. ... show more

  • This seems like my other 1TB drives and I did purchase this ...
Capacity: 1TB Style: USB-A ready
note: that I have not had this for long, so I will hold off on a 5-star rating for now. This seems like my other 1TB drives and I did purchase this for REDUNDANT backups ... I have to say this new model (I have a few of the ones for PC, that are the same way, but will not "review those" here) ... seems a bit faster to the prior models which I have a few of as well ... just transferring to and from this unit seems SPEEDY .. .no problems so far. Note to Linux users: ... "for mac" just means the default file-system is not a Microsoft File-system (FAT32 or NTFS) but Linux can see/handle the apple file system just fine which i did switch to a Linux file-system. THE POINT? ... IIRC this is the exact same unit as "for PC/Windows" but the out of the box file system is for Macs... if you see a good deal on one of these "for Macs" and are a Linux user .... buying this drive and just changing the file system is just as good as doing the same thing with one of these WD 1TB drives "for PC" ... show more

  • 4 years and still my go-to external hard drive
Capacity: 1TB Style: USB-A ready
I am going to review this after some time of using the product but just like my previous WD My Passport, it is still proving to be an incredibly reliable hard drive that still has a good amount of space for my all my personal, college and work files. Still works perfectly on my MacBook and iMac, despite changing devices over the years. Highly recommend! ... show more
