Review: Easy to use, does the job - Review from a non expert here. Difficult to know which to buy if you don't know anyone who knows about these things. This was my fourth one of these and mostly great. One of them stopped working with the motor going after a few years so I would always have backup copies and probably replace every few years. That being said, I've just purchased 2 more Review: Easy and quick to use - This drive works great so far. I needed it to back up the Mac I use for my small business.

Also, know this isn’t the question but FWIW, I’m using it with my Mac PowerBook as a "Time machine" back up, but I had to format it with the disk utility first. **Q: Could i use a wd usb-c cable with this?** A: It appears the My Passport and the My Passport Ultra take you to the same Questions and Reviews. Amazon seem to do this a lot and need to fix it. The Ultra supports USB-C (and seems to be more expensive). Check before you click to buy. One last thing, it's not worth paying more for the Mac versions, though you may need to reformat. **Q: I've a pc and a mac...can i format it in 2 partitions ? one mac formatted and another windows pc formatted ?** A: This should be possible, though if you want to use the drive with both mac and windows devices you would be better off formatting the partition in exFAT format, which allows both OSX and Windows read and write access. Of course, this is best done when the drive is new and has no data on it, otherwise you would lose data stored on the device! **Q: Just took delivery of this for my mac running catalina.. can't import my files(images) from icloud because it keeps asking for social media** A: It will auto back up all your files on your Mac if you connect to Time Machine, are your files in iCloud different from those on your Mac? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use, does the job *by M***S on 22 July 2023* Review from a non expert here. Difficult to know which to buy if you don't know anyone who knows about these things. This was my fourth one of these and mostly great. One of them stopped working with the motor going after a few years so I would always have backup copies and probably replace every few years. That being said, I've just purchased 2 more ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy and quick to use *by A***R on 23 February 2026* This drive works great so far. I needed it to back up the Mac I use for my small business. It was really easy to use, no issues with setup or the backup. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great when it's sorted, but for me it was not 'Time Machine Ready' out of the box *by D***N on 12 July 2020* The product itself is excellent, but I had substantial issues getting it to work correctly. In my experience (others may find differently) it was not Time Machine Ready out of the box and required a significant amount of research and experimentation to get it to work. When first connected it backed up 2 or 3 times, then said 'back-up failed'. Googling and experimentation ensued. I downloaded the more comprehensive WD Utilities software and used it to ensure the sleep function was not the cause of the failure. It would then back up once after restarting, and the next backup would fail as the first one still said 'in progress'. Restarting meant it would again back up once, then fail the second time. Further Googling found instructions posted by someone allegedly from Apple Support to use Apple's First Aid function after restarting the computer in Recovery Mode, the object of which was to ensure both drives were in the same state, and fix minor issues in one or other of the drives. The drive was then deleted. I did this twice as it did not work the first time, and the second time I did all the drives on my computer including the WD backup. The problem notification changed to something else, I forget the exact wording, but it still failed after the first backup. Then yet more Googling suggested removing all the WD Utilities (which I downloaded separately as part of problem-solving) and WD Discovery (came pre-installed) software. I searched my hard drive and deleted all WD software. Then restarted the laptop and it backed up flawlessly. It has functioned perfectly ever since, backing up as regular as clockwork. As I said, it's working great now, but it took more than two weeks to sort. I contacted Amazon support and they promptly offered to replace it (great service from Amazon), and that was the point at which I got it working. All in all it is fine now, but the key issue for me is it says 'Time Machine ready' (which is why I bought it) meaning in my book it should be plug and play. In my experience it was not. Still, a happy ending overall. EDIT: after a further two months of working flawlessly the problem returned. I returned it and got a refund. ## Frequently Bought Together - WD 4TB My Passport for Mac, Navy, Portable External Hard Drive with backup software and password protection, USB 3.1/USB 3.0 compatible - WDBA2F0040BBL-WESN - Lacdo Hard Drive Carrying Case for Western Digital WD Elements/WD My Passport/My Passport Ultra Portable External Hard Drive HDD 1TB 2TB 4TB 5TB 6TB USB 3.0 Protective Storage Travel Bag, Black - UGREEN 10 Gbps Micro B to USB C Hard Drive Cables, 1.5FT USB C to Micro B, External Hard Drive Cable Compatible with MacBook Pro/Air, iPad/Tablet, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S24, WD Seagate etc --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/153608549-my-passport-for-mac](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/153608549-my-passport-for-mac) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
