Format My External Hard Drive For Mac

WD 5TB My Passport for Mac USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (Midnight Blue) Purchased 06/10/2020: Backed up my data and storage allows for many additional activities and tasks.

I bought this to use with my WD 4TB My Passport for Mac external hard drive.  Perfect fit.

My Passport Portable Hard Drive has been been really easy to use and reliable. Since it doesn't require power, it's really practical and doesn't slow down the computer, like many bulkier hard drives. I already had a 1TB My Passport and was really impressed, so I bought a 2TB. Mac users have to format the drive, though, but it's really easy. The hard drive came with set up files on it, I wasn't sure what to do with them. Since I had to format it they end up deleted. I haven't needed them.

I use this external hard drive to backup my photos. I need a lot of storage because I shoot in raw format and the files are very large. All my hard drives are now Western Digital. Very reliable and price you can't beat.

I was able to very quickly format this hard drive for my mac and immediately begin using it. I ordered the 12 TB version which still loads relatively fast and file transfer speeds are not bad. Overall a very reliable and fast drive that can store a lot of pics/vids.

I am using this case to store my WD 2TB My Passport External Hard Drive. The cover is semi rigid which provides some protection against accidentally banging the hard drive, although I would not want to drop the hard drive. It also provides a separate area for storing the USB cable which comes with the hard dive. Very convenient.

Excellent External hard drive.

I use it as an external hard drive for photos.

Large, fast and reliable. Using as an external hard drive for backup storage with a Mac Pro. I shoot and edit a lot of 4K video and need tons of storage. This drive is versatile, affordable and does the job.
