Western Digital My Passport MAC USB Portable Drive

Western Digital’s My Passport USB Portable Drive for Mac takes a page from its predecessors. It is a solid, compact, fairly speedy little USB-only portable hard drive that also happens to be Time Machine–ready and designed for the Mac. It comes with a 500GB capacity, a three-year warranty, and a shock-resistant shell that can withstand your average wear and tear, the Western Digital My Passport USB portable drive has turned out to be one of the best portable drives available for the Mac.The My Passport is a simple, light drive. I put it through our series of handling tests, which include tossing the drive around my cubicle and dropping it to the floor several times to see how it handles the punishment. But for all the abuse we gave it, the drive didn’t slow down a bit and showed little wear.It does get a bit hot as the fanless aluminum case works to draw heat away from the drive mechanism, but the upside is that the drive ran quietly throughout our tests. The Western Digital My Passport USB Portable Drive for MAC can be seen at USB Portable Drives.com for around $85 for the 500GB drive.
