Thank you WD for such good products, and thank you Amazon, for such good sevice. And do the Safe Boot procedure to rebuild my computers directory regularily. I have a well oiled, smooth running system. I use Disk Utility and DiskWarrior for regular preventative maintanance on all my 11 hard disks.Īnd i use Apple’s Time Machine for regular backup.īeen doing this for years. I don’t use the WD software either, no reflection on that. KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid - well known saying used in the design & advertising industry). The drive’s external shell is mix of silver and black aluminum, which goes along nicely with the current MacBook motif.

WD recently sent me a pair of the new drives to try out. I like to keep things as simple as possible. The new Western Digital My Passport Studio drives for Mac users sleek and compact (particularly when you consider we’re getting 2TB of storage). I don’t use any password protection, don’t see the need. I am so pleased with the WD My Passport Studio drive for Mac. ( And when I get back to the UK I will transfer all data to my iMac for editing in Final Cut Pro X and upload some movies to YouTube – see my profille for link to my website which has a link to my YouTube section). I will dowload & review each days shooting to My Passport HDD, each evening.

The drive was already pre formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The pictures are from an upgrade of the girlfriends MacBook Air last week. It worked straight out of the box,connected via the supplied Firewire 800 cable to my old, trusty Mac G4 Powerbook laptop, ( The Ultra has a USB 3 outlet, my old Mac USB 2 and Firewire 800 - I could of bought a Y cable but decided not to and go for the faster Firewire connectivity) I returned the Ultra to Amazon for a refund, and took delivery of a !TB Pasport Studio for Mac a day or so ago, also, from Amazon UK. I thought I’d let you know the happy outcome (good news seldom gets published in this type of forum).
