#WD MY PASSPORT FOR MAC REVIEW USB 3.0 FOR WINDOWS 10#
Western Digital has released two versions one for Windows 10 with USB 3.0 and one for Mac (macOS Mojave) that leverages USB-C.
According to the company, this would make the My Passport the slimmest portable 5TB Hard Drive in its portfolio. The new My Passport is redesigned with a slimmer build and higher capacity, up to 5TB. Not the cheapest, either.Today Western Digital released the latest version of its popular My Passport portable HDD device.
TIRED Fast enough for everyday use, but not the fastest. You can set up password protection and hardware encryption. No external power supplies or power cables required. We'll review one of those as soon as we can get our hands on one. The company also recently released the My Passport Edge, an even slimmer drive that offers better portability. The new case design is quite snappy, and one of the choices of colors is a silvery brushed-metal case that matches the current Mac notebooks and desktops. 2TB, the biggest the My Passport you can buy, costs between $160 and $180 at different retailers. 500GB models are about $70, 750GB models are around $90, and 1TB models are about $100. Western Digital also offers some add-on software for data encryption, and a backup suite with a few different backup options. The drives are USB-powered (there are no external power cables) and come in a few different colors. The My Passport drive works on both Macs and Windows PC, and comes with a 2-year warranty. If you want the ultimate in grab-and-go mobility, these little bricks are a great choice. Sure, you can get a 2TB desktop drive from WD, Hitachi or Seagate for close to the same amount of money as a 1TB My Passport drive, but the other options are much larger and require external power supplies.
They're extremely small and portable, they're capable of both USB 2.0 and 3.0 speeds, and priced between $90 and $180, they're quite affordable. These tiny My Passport drives from Western Digital earn our recommendation for a few reasons.
