Western Digital Technologies, Inc. introduced a generation of My Passport portable hard drives specifically designed for use with Mac computers and Apple Time Machine, featuring Mac-inspired designs with capacity storage options and security.
My Passport for Mac
My Passport Studio boasts the all-metal design and performance needed for today's discerning Mac user, serving as a companion for the on-the-go photographer, videographer, graphic artist, or creative professional that produces, shares and consumes massive amounts of digital content daily.
Offering up to 1 TB capacity, it also provides multiple connectivity options with two FireWire 800 ports and a USB 2.0 interface. The dual FireWire ports provide fast upload and transfer speeds while also allowing users to daisy chain additional drives or other peripherals such as HD camcorders. My Passport Studio also features encryption and password protection software, and a new design constructed of metal for a sturdy feel in your hand and scratch resistance.
Housed in a durable slim enclosure, the My Passport for Mac is designed for Mac users who need high capacity storage in a compact and lightweight design. Available in capacities up to 1 TB, My Passport for Mac remains a favorite among students and other Mac users whose work environments may include extensive travel or outdoor and adventure locations.
With minimal local storage on the MacBook and MacBook Air products, My Passport for Mac serves as a reliable storage and backup source for music, videos, photos and all digital content. Powered through its USB 2.0 interface, users can connect the My Passport for Mac drive to their MacBook or MacBook Air without the need for additional cables or power source.
