More Picture

I chose this hard drive to go along with my Apple MacBook Pro. I chose one with Firewire for two reasons. First, because it has double the transfer speed of USB. Second, because it leaves both USB ports open for other things. Mine is connected all the time, taking advantage of the Time Machine feature of the Snow Leopard operating system.

Useless for Mac - twmulloy -
Bought this to use between my macbook pro and mac pro and it simply does not work. Will detect and can read/write to it but frequently disconnects itself to the point where it is unusable (tried w/ and w/o the contained mac drivers). Cannot be used for time machine because it will eject itself. The enclosure looks good, the whole reason i bought it was that it matched the macbook pro in style. Firewire plug does not seat well and falls out easily. Sliding door thing on the drive is unnecessary, it's loose and just slides back and forth. I am going to crack this open and just use the 2.5" drive in an esata enclosure.

Serial connections failed after two weeks - Terje -
I have several USB-only Passport drives from Western Digital, and they have all worked well. This time I saw that one was available with not just USB 2.0, but also Firewire 400 and Firewire 800 connections, for only a slightly greater price, so I got it. Big mistake: after two weeks, the USB and Firewire 800 ports stopped working. This was a backup drive, and I cannot now trust the remaining port, the USB 2.0, so the drive is now worthless to me.
