Western Digital My Passport Studio 2011 Unboxing & Review

This is the quick unboxing of the new portable hard drive (latest model), Western Digital - My Passport Studio Mac Edition 2011 1TB. I will also overview some of the features very briefly as well as give my initial thoughts on the product.

FireWire 800 ports

With two super-fast FireWire 800 ports, you can save and access data at up to 800 Mb/s. Use the second FireWire port to daisy chain an additional external drive or other peripheral to your Mac. This drive also offers a USB 2.0 interface for added connectivity.

Precision aluminum enclosure

The durable, anodized aluminum enclosure is the perfect complement for your MacBook or MacBook Air and resists scratching and fingerprints.

WD Security

WD Security utility allows you to set password protection and hardware encryption for your drive to protect your files from unauthorized use or access.

WD Drive Utilities

Register your drive, set drive security, run diagnostics and more using WD Drive Utilities.

Compatible with Apple Time Machine

Back up your files with Apple Time Machine.

Formatted for Mac

HFS+ Journaled so it works right out of the box with your MacBook or MacBook Air. Can be reformatted for Windows.

No power adapter required

The drive is powered through the FireWire or USB port, so there's no need to lug around a bulky power adapter.

WD quality inside and out

We know your data is important to you. So we build the drive inside to our demanding requirements for durability, shock tolerance and long-term reliability. Then we protect the drive with a robust enclosure designed for beauty and protection.
