Sleek portable drive with nice silver matte finish 
by .. WriterGirl (Seoul, S. Korea)
When I ordered this, I wasn't paying attention. It is for a Mac OS and I have Win 7. When I received it, I went to WD's support page to get the instructions for reformatting this drive. I reformatted it for my system and it works great. I get 930GB after formatting, more than enough storage for my files. I love the elegant silver matte finish. Its size is much smaller than other 1TB external drives and it barely weighs much, so it is truly portable. I have two other WD external portable drives and they have always worked well. I am quite pleased with this product.
So small, yet so big in storage by .. Craig Frooninckx (Phoenix, AZ)
Upon arrival, it came in such a small box that I thought it was something else. How can 1 TB be in such a small devise? I'm not sure, but it's there. And it's great that it runs off of USB power, it doesn't require a separate power source like other external hard-drives. Plugged it in to my Mac, started loading it up with pictures, movies and songs and performance was great. This is what plug and play was meant to be.
Great portable drive for your Mac by .. Sheri Fogarty (United States)
I've been using a Lacie drive for a few years now with my Mac. I use Time Machine to keep regular back-ups. Time Machine is great as it reminds you when you haven't backed up for 10 days and it only backs up changes so after the first back-up, it's pretty quick.
My Lacie drive is getting full and I've been looking around for a replacement so I was thrilled to get a chance to review this for Vine. It's a one Terabyte drive and weighs only 6.7 ounces. And it's small too! 4.3 x 3.2 x 0.7 inches. It could easily fit in your purse or laptop bag.
My previous drive is a Firewire drive which is quicker then USB, but it's also MUCH bigger and not easily portable. I did my regular back-up on Time Machine on my old drive and then selected 'switch drive' and selected the My Passport icon. There was no initial set-up needed and it backed up almost 400 G of data in under seven hours - I left it overnight the first time and when I woke-up it was done. It works great with Time Machine so you can retrieve your data easily by date or all at once.
There is included softwear for smart back-up and storage but as I use Time Machine already I didn't need it to back up my computer. I will update this review if I try it as it does have some interesting features such as backing up on the spot whenever you add or change a file. You can also lock and password protect the drive as well.
Pros:
Small size.
Easy to carry around.
Large Capacity.
Plug and play for Mac and Time Machine.
Cons:
USB is somewhat slower to back-up then Firewire drives.
We've used Western Digital drives before and have found them to be very reliable. A great, small ultra portable drive for your Mac. Highly recommended.
Great Product, plenty of space by .. rjgsphinx (Marietta, GA)
I am very pleased with this product. Nice compact size, works with Time Machine right out of the box. The included tools do a good job. I love how easy it is to password protect.
USB 2.0 is not as fast as firewire BUT the firewire products seemed to be bigger. I gladly accepted the negligible difference in speed.
And on a appearance note, I love the fact it is the same silver as my Macbook Pro. Makes a nice overall impression.
Highly Recommend.
Sexy little drive by .. Zack Davisson (Seattle, WA, USA)
This is my fourth Western Digital external hard drive, and the first one I have had that was ready-made for my Mac. I have had formatting problems with getting the drives to work with my older Mac, but with the help of Western Digital's tech support I got the Western Digital My Book Elite 1 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive running just fine and have used that for about a year.
When this little silver bullet showed up, however, it was love at first sight. This is a 1 TB like the "My Book Elite," but is easily half the size and makes the Elite look like a clunky old dinosaur. About the same size of a paperback book, this "My Passport SE" is highly portable and convenient.
The fact that this is Mac-formatted was a dream. Plug and play. Out of the box and hooked up to my computer in seconds. Time Machine is no problem. Everything works as advertised.
As far as speed, drive-size and such, there is no real advantage over the "My Book Elite," but as far as engineering goes this "My Passport SE" blows my old drive out of the water. It is powered from the USB, so I don't need to find a plug-in in my already over-loaded outlets. Sleek. Portable. Shiny. This drive is every good thing.
