Don’t purchase if you want auto backups

Reviewed in Australia on 4 December 2019

Capacity: 4TBStyle Name: Standard EnclosureColour: BlackVerified Purchase

Works fine out of the box for first TM backup and a couple of auto ones after that but then all the auto ones fail. Seems to be a common problem - have tweaked power settings on the drive itself as well as computer but no luck. Have to keep ejecting & reattach to get it to continue backing up, but if you’re after set and forget I can’t recommend it. Using it on a late 2012 iMac with latest OS.

Dodgy connection

Reviewed in Australia on 6 February 2020

Capacity: 2TBStyle Name: Metal EnclosureColour: SilverVerified Purchase

If it just connected to my Macbook reliably, then fine, no issue. It holds 2TB. But unfortunately the connection is extremely tenuous, disconnecting all the time with even the slightest movement. I am scared my files (which include backups and thousands of photos) will be corrupted. I didn't ask for a replacement because I have nowhere to put my files instead. I'm stuck with what I've got.

Crippled by WD software

Reviewed in Australia on 14 December 2020

Capacity: 2TBStyle Name: Standard EnclosureColour: Midnight BlueVerified Purchase

First off, when it says 'USB C ready', it means that it ships with a standard USB A cable, but they include a USB A to USB C adapter. Secondly, if I'd known that the hard drive was going to be hobbled by WD's proprietary software, I would never have bought it. And from what I've read online the software is on a separate chip to the actual hard drive, so reformatting the drive in Disk Utility (which I've already tried) doesn't remove the software. This is the last WD hard drive I'll buy due to this issue.

Got this yesterday and is working as expected. Good thing it has both USB-C and USB A. Partitioned the drive for TimeMachine and the other for my files and does not have issues.

Thought it was bulky but NOT, its portable and very handy plus its very slim.

This product connects immediately to your Mac Book Pro, no fiddling about and is immediately available for Time Machine if you require same. It's small size and light weight makes it a nice fit for carrying in you bag. Highly recommended. Great price too.

Great Device for Apple Time Machine Backups

Reviewed in Australia on 10 July 2020

Capacity: 4TBStyle Name: Standard EnclosureColour: BlackVerified Purchase

This device simply does what it says it will do and is especially great as an Apple Time Machine and I have already had to use it to restore an App that I accidentally deleted - so I know that the restore works! Small, fast, easy to set up and just works.

Easy as... Time Machine

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2019

Capacity: 2TBStyle Name: Standard EnclosureColour: BlackVerified Purchase

ALL of MY WD "My Passport" for MAC, portable hard drives that I've purchased over the last 8 years have worked straight out of the box without recourse to having to use the bundled WD software. They're sold as MAC and Time Machine compatible. No need to use the WD software. There's no need to even instal the software on your computer. Plug the WD drive into the USB socket on your computer and use Time Machine for backups just by following the Mac OS prompts to make sure you select the correct drive for your Time Machine to target. It's as easy as it gets.

I just purchased my fourth such WD drive - a 2Tb version - in it's latest style (as of January 2019). But ALL FOUR of my WD Drives - and those bought by my daughter also - continue to perform perfectly when required. Two are permanently connected to my MAC and in daily use and the other two are offline archives. Oh! - and I also have one (a fifth) in my laptop bag for backups of an old MacBook Pro - still functioning perfectly as required using Time Machine.

This month, I ran out of space on my last WD backup drive and Time Machine had started to delete the earliest back-ups from back in 2016. So strategically, I decided it was time for a new one. I had no hesitation in selecting a WD Drive on the strength of my experiences with them to date.

As it was the new drive's first backup, I had about 680Gb of files to transfer initially (that's because ALL the files on my MAC needed to be written onto the new (empty) drive). On the only transfer rate I can manage (USB 2 - connected MAC) the transfer took about 11 hours in the background. It didn't interfere at all with my ongoing foreground use of the MAC. Subsequent backups, being incremental backups only, will, of course, take only a few minutes or seconds whenever Time Machine runs automatically thereafter. If my MAC had been a newer version, I guess my transfer rates would have been significantly higher using the USB-C cable connector that comes with the new edition of the WD Drive. (Both are in the box to maintain backward compatibility with earlier machinery - like mine).

Although I've only discusses the Time Machine backup compatibility functionality, the WD Drives can of, course, be used for ad hoc data storage and management via the Finder App, alongside any Time Machine back-up folders that are automatically created and assigned drive space by Time Machine.

SOME ADVICE FOR PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS?
Reading SOME of the issues that SOME people have had with their purchases, I'd like to share the following observation based on the fact that WD market external drives with some explicitly labelled as "For MAC". This implies there may be two versions of these drives already formatted for either Macs or PCs. (Maybe there are more.... I don't know!)
The ones to which I refer in my review, I have specifically bought as formatted for, or labelled explicitly as MAC ready... NOT PC Versions, as I suspect some reviewers may have bought. I'm no expert, and therefore take care to try to get stuff that states what I need explicitly on the box, i.e. it says 'For MAC' on the online listing and on the box. So, I recommend to ALL prospective purchasers of these - or ANY other external drives, that you plan to use on specific machine platforms, that you make sure you're buying the right item for your particular type of computer.
I THINK the differences on MACs and PC systems is in file structuring protocols. So, I presume WD pre-format them in the factory and then stream them for either MAC or PC use. But that's as far as my reasoning goes.

Value for money

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 February 2020

Capacity: 4TBStyle Name: Metal EnclosureColour: SilverVerified Purchase

It is great for mac (I have used it on my macbook pro) and the password protection is easy to set up.
Although not major, but I have seen tiny glitches while copying data into it. I have not used it for long (bought it 3 months back) and hence I would recommend this to be your 2nd back-up drive :)

I hope you will like my review, if you found it useful please hit ‘Helpful’. It will make my day :)

Amazon still don't know what needs padding and what doesnt

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 December 2019

Capacity: 2TBStyle Name: Standard EnclosureColour: Midnight BlueVerified Purchase

The harddrive is fine, does what you expect. The reason for 3 stars is because it came delivered in its own (thinly padded) box with the delivery sticker plastered across the front. Not only is this unsafe for the fragile harddrive, but always ruined the box that was given as a present. Expected more from Amazon who can send a small box of supplements in a toddler size box full of padding but not an expensive and impact sensitive HDD.

Terrible drive. I used it three times in 2 weeks. Then, when I plugged it in it started making a funny noise and won’t open. All the data can’t be accesses. Expensive failure and a waste of money.

Interferes with 2.4GHz wifi (MacBook Pro)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 April 2019

Capacity: 4TBStyle Name: Metal EnclosureColour: SilverVerified Purchase

If you run 2.4GHz wireless this will interfere with the connection to a point that you will most likely not be able to connect with your wifi while using this hard drive. This is due to the USB 3.0 interfering with the 2.4GHz bands.

A bummer as I really like this hard drive, but it's a really big inconvenience not being able to go online while using it.
