The drive is enclosed in a small book-like casing with a two-tone black and silver fascia. Western Digital employs familiar design aesthetics in the My Passport for Mac. Thankfully, and unlike some other hard drive vendors, Western Digital doesn't charge a premium for having done this for you. Anyone with reasonable level of technical proficiency is able to format a hard drive into a HFS+ Journaled file system - the primary format used on Mac OS X. It is one of the cheapest external drives on the Australian market and a must-have for anyone who needs a quick and easy backup solution.Īpart from the Mac symbol and the extra labelling, the only difference between a Mac-specific drive and any other is the file system. The My Passport for Mac is a no-frills external hard drive that lacks the comprehensive connectivity of the more expensive Western Digital My Passport Studio II.
