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.
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!

PROS: Very quiet, sleek, straight edge design makes it really easy to store unlike rounded irregular sized HDDs, fast, reliable
CONS: no led light to indicate if it's on or running. It's so silent I cannot tell it's running unless I click on it from the Mac to open it's contents.
Assolutamente consigliato!
MacbookAirで使っていて、買い替えたMacminiでも問題なく使えています。
基本パソコンと繋ぎっぱなしで、自動でTimeMachineをさせているくらい、かなりヘビーに使っていました。
5年経っても一度もデータが飛ばなかっただけでかなり満足です。
最近は流石に容量もいっぱいになり、カリカリ音もしてくるので、同じメーカーで買い換えようと思っています。(長年使いすぎました笑)
WDだと他のブロガーの記事も見つけやすいのでMacユーザーにはオススメです。
The Passports works well with my PC laptop too, when I render films to them. I do keep my Mac and PC drives separate though. I use USB memory sticks to pass files between my PC and Mac.
I do stress, I buy the right format Passport drive for my Mac or PC.
One most important golden rule; always eject the drive with the computers software before disconnecting. If the drive won't eject, turning off the computer has always worked for me.
Over all I well satisfied with the WD Passport drives, and so far have five of them for different purposes and will buy more of them in the future.
