## Questions & Answers

**Q: come with cable?**
A: It does come with a 15in cable which I find OK when I want the drive right next to the Mac. The cable is a USB 3.0 A to Micro B. It's easy enough to get a longer USB 3.0 cable and I have a 3ft cable that works well for me. Hope this helps.

**Q: Can I automatically backup using Time Machine?**
A: Yes. I use my Passport for Mac as my MacBook Pro backup device and it uses Time Machine automatically. It's seamless, simple and a perfect device. Well worth it.

**Q: Is this an SSD or spinning hard drive?**
A: This is a conventional spinning hard drive inside the case. Hope this answers your question finally...

**Q: My mac laptop pro is older.  does it work on 10.7.5?**
A: I also have this question

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great WD Hard drive - Free Software Sucks
*by J***F on December 30, 2023*

You can't go wrong with Western Digital. Very small package for huge storage. Plug and Play - connected the USB cable, (included) and my computer immediately recognized it. The portable drive is larger than the drive on my laptop, so I partitioned it into 2 virtual drives. One partition for an Image/Backup and a second partition for file backup & storage. The partitioning process was flawless and now my computer recognizes two separate drives. I am super happy with the WD SSD portable drive. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a portable drive. I'm even thinking about buying another larger drive and partitioning into more virtual drives for backup of other computers.My only complaint and major disappointment with WD, is that the free "WD Backup" software is no longer supported by WD and hasn't been for a few years. They offer a free version of Acronis, which doesn't work. Installed the Acronis software, created a bootable disk on a USB Flash (thumb) drive, then rebooted the computer from the thumb drive and created a full backup/ disk image to the new WD drive. The software seemed to run perfectly, and said the backup was successfully created. I felt really good that I had a full backup of my 2015 laptop, in case I ever need to replace the mechanical HDD. But it was a false peace of mind.Only 2 weeks after using the Acronis backup software, my computer was crashing shortly after bootup, which it had never done before. So I thought I would test the new drive and backup. After rebooting with the Acronis USB Boot drive, it asked for the location of the image file. The computer recognized the WD drive with all of the Acronis backup folders. But then the Acronis software said all of the folders were empty and there was No Image found. WTF?! Acronis said it successfully made a full disk copy. But then the software could not find its own image.DO NOT USE the ACRONIS software.I was fortunately able to fix the boot/crash problem using other software. But if my hard drive had completely failed, I would not have a usable backup copy to restore to a new drive. I would have been screwed. It would have been better if I never attempting to create a backup. At least I would known that I didn't have a backup copy to rely on, rather than falsely thinking I was protected.In addition, the "free" software isn't really free. It's only a 30 day free Trial version. So if you make a full backup within 30 days, and later have a critical problem, you will be forced to purchase the full version to perform the restore. The backup file versions are propitiatory, so you can't use another brand of software to do the restore. They've got you! You can make a free backup/copy (if you can even get the software to work properly). But then you have to pay for the software to actually use the Backup in order to Restore. This is akin Ransomware.I have since purchased other backup/imaging software and made a full (working) backup to my new WD drive. I'm very happy about that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as expected
*by P***A on July 26, 2025*

My second WD Passport for Mac. The hard drive works as expected, though note, you don't need to download the preloaded software program if you just want to drag and drop files yourself. A great deal for a fraction of the price of other brand names (I'm looking at YOU, Apple). My other Passport I bought about eight years ago is still running strong, unlike various Lacies and G Drives, and the new WD 1TB design is smaller and lighter (see pic). For some reason, they still use a proprietary hookup and not a USB-C (see third pic), though they do include a USB-B to USB-C adapter (4th pic) in the box. Overall, good value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lightweight and Fast
*by F***Y on June 26, 2025*

Perfect backup device! Small, lightweight and lots of storage makes for the ideal backup. Easy to transport, quick to attach with standard USB cable provided and performs fast and flawless, main reasons for choosing this device over some others. Plus I have been using Seagate devices since DOS days and they have been proven solid performers!
