Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Plug in and forget about it
Have to agree with other reviewers, this drive is perfect for use with a mac. Just plug it in and Time Machine will pick it up and do the rest.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A pocket wonder
This hard disk drive is not much bigger than a mobile phone - 12.6cm x 7.9cm x 1.5cm - and holds a whopping 250Gb.

This makes is the perfect back-up drive that you can take with you. I carry mine in my laptop bag, so that should my laptop hard disk fail I have all my data with me and can still work. Assuming I can borrow a PC or laptop that is.

At home it can sit in a drawer and, if you want to pop round a friends house and share some tunes, it will sit in your pocket without causing an embarrassing bulge.

I have been using Western Digital for years and have never had any technical problems - I simply upgrade for capacity.

The one negative is the bundled sync software. It's a dog and is best ... Read More:


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Little drive but big use.
This is such a good little drive. I love the design. It's simple, rounded corners and has a white LED in form of a USB symbol that blinks when transfers are taking place.
It came formatted for Windows with some preloaded software that I couldn't test because I use a MacBook Pro. I used OS Xs Disk Utility to partition it as a GPT drive and it's working great. I bought this drive primarily because of Time Machine. I leave the drive connected to a powered USB 7-port HUB and haven't had any problems so far. My Mac is backed up completely and I feel safe because I've heard that Western Digital HDDs are usually reliable.
This drive fits in my shirt's pocket if I ever want to take it with me and it's somewhat light compared to others on the ... Read More:


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Perfect For Time Machine On A MacBook
I just bought a white My Book Passport Essential for use with a white Apple MacBook laptop. Western Digital have clearly been inspired by Apple's design, what with the drive's heavily rounded corners, white USB cable and white power light. It seriously looks as if it was created as a companion product for the MacBook, by Apple themselves, which is great.

The drive is very very tiny, at just 12.5 cm in width, and 1.5 cm in depth. Very portable, manageable, and easy to pick up. The drive also runs whisper quiet, which is very unusual for an external hard drive. Western Digital's other products, such as the My Book Essential and Studio, have an annoying habit of "spinning down" and "spinning up" again, throughout the day. But this My Book ...
