Everything’s not all sunny for the WD My Passport for Mac though. Even more so is the performance we’re seeing is still very respectable so we’re giving this drive both straight 10s for Performance and Value. We known its rude to generalize or stereotype, but Mac fans tend to have a bit more to spend than PC users so its good to know that WD isn’t riding the Apple Tax bandwagon by overcharging for these things. Priced at around Php4,900, this drive should be around the price range of most 1TB solutions with the 2TB and 500GB variants coming in for Php8,990 and Php3,790 respectively. In the interest of fairness though, we will not be including the results we got from the 2TB My Passport for consistency purposes.

Too bad this is still stuck in the USB 2.0 era, as we would have pretty much preferred to see something much faster along the lines of FireWire 800 or USB 3.0. For those who are a bit concerned about security, fret not – these puppies are equipped with 256-bit hardware encryption with password protection for that added level of security, where a relatively small drive with such huge capacity should still let you sleep peacefully at night since you know that your data will protected from unauthorized access or theft. These ultra portable USB drives are a snap to tote around, and since they do not require any external power adapter as they derive juice by virtue of being plugged into your computer, it will certainly go a long way in reducing the amount of weight that you would have needed to carry on your travels.
Available in two capacities of 750GB and 1TB, the is a portable USB drive which has been specially formatted before leaving the factory to work in a Mac environment right out of the box, complete with Apple Time Machine software compatibility. By Western Digital is extremely well known for its line of storage devices where backup is concerned, and this time round they have come up with something that targets folks who are running on the Mac platform – we’re talking about the Western Digital My Passport SE for Mac.
