Hello Everyone,

Happy Wednesday! I hope you all had a great weekend =)
We are having a promotion for the WD My Passport 1TB (White) HDD. Limited time offer, grab it while you can!

There won't be any coupon for free shipping, my team is still working on this. At this stage, you will be able to see the "Free Shipping" option during checkout. Please bear with us on this.

Also, I am open for suggestion on memory promotion, you can leave a comment on the post.

Enjoy Shopping!

Update: We have sold out for the white model, so I had to mark it as expired early. Thank you for all of your support =)

      Hi Frood,

      The WD MyPassport is suitable for Mac according to the Western Digital website - http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=1000#Tab3
      For formatting the HDD to the correct format, you will need to follow the following guide - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201909
      By default, the volume format should be "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", which is only readable by Mac OS devices. You can also set it to "MS-DOS File System" AKA "FAT32" which can be read by MAC OS and Windows OS.

      The default format of the MyPassport should be FAT32, which can be read by MAC OS, otherwise the guide above should solve your issue.

      Unfortunately I am unable to guarantee the success of this as I have not tested this myself. It is best to check with Western Digital personally.

      Cheers

      Hello there,

      The WD Drive is a little smaller than the Toshiba Drive, by about 2-8mm on each side.
      Both are similar in speeds, if not the same.
      The Western Digital HDD does however come with password protection where the Toshiba HDD does not.

      Other than that, not too many differences.

        The USB connector is standard, the HDD inside the case is proprietary:

        This won't matter for anyone looking to use this for it's intended prpose, however when portable drives are this cheap some people buy them to crack open the case and use the HDD in laptops, mini-itx devices, etc.. connected to the standard SATA connectors.

          Yes you are indeed correct.
          WD portable drives usually have proprietary connectors on the inside and not the standard SATA connection.
          I did not take into consideration that the intended purpose may be for internal use in laptops or for other SATA compatible devices.

      Hi cheapgeek,

      It is compatible with the Xbox One!
      You will of course need to format the drive before usage (done through the XB1 interface).
      The RPM of the MyPassport should be the same as the built-in HDD in the XB1 at 5400RPM.
      And the USB3.0 connection will allow for good installation/transfer speeds.

    Haven't owned one of these but have had bad experiences with WD drive software in the past, which is why I usually go for an elements drive.

    Do these drives come encrypted? There seem to be user 2 manuals on the WD site, one for encrypted, one unencrypted.

    Encrypted drives: http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/UM/ENG/4779-705098.pdf
    Unencrypted drives: http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/UM/ENG/4779-705099.pdf

    That's a lot of pages for something that should be as simple as plug and copy.

    I understand if you use them without encryption, there's a virtual CD (which can be disbled). I imagine that's similar to the IronKeys I use at work.

    Anyone got any experience with these that they can share?
