Review: Fast Backup - UPDATE- This drive that I first reviewed failed within two months. I gave it a 5-star review. So, I bought a second one - and it began having problems almost immediately. I called their tech support, was handed off to a text messaging tech and explained what was happening (the drive LED was constantly flashing) and after trying a few things, they finally said to use my Disk Utility. After I did that, it found numerous errors, once the utility was finished the drive began working properly and I haven't had another issue yet. It was good to know that their tech support was available to resolve my issue. FIRST DRIVE REVIEW: I was using a WD 1T Passport with the original USB connection from practically the dark ages and it was performing so slowly, taking hours to back up. I finally bought this 5T model and it backs up in bare minutes. It plugs directly into my MacBook Pro with USB C. No complaints, it works seamlessly with Time Machine.
Review: A Nice External Harddrive - Connected to my macbook pro m5 without a problem and has worked flawlessly. It is very easy to use. At 5 tb's it has great storage amount. I hope it lasts a long time.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is it different from other WD drives sold for 99$?**
A: The 99 dollar models transfer on my computer at around 90 MB sec, bought this USB-c model without realizing it was different, only transfers at 35 MB sec on same computer, considerably slower for more money, stay away.

**Q: What cable will I need to get to connect this to a usb3 port?**
A: Requires a USB-C cable.  I purchased one for $10 at my local computer store.

**Q: Can I boot from this drive on a mac?  In other words, is it bootable?**
A: Yes, if you format the drive in Mac native format, and use a clone application like Bombich Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC), the external drive should be bootable on your Mac.   You have to have macOS copied over, for it to be bootable.  You hold down the option key when booting, to get a boot device selection menu during the boot.

**Q: Good to use with a crome pixelbook (chrome os) ?**
A: The short answer is YES. You will need to format the external hard drive  through your files (blue) folder. However, before doing that, connect the external drive to your USB port and try to save a file to the hard drive. If it works fine, then you don't need to reformat. Hope that helps.

The WD 6TB My Passport Ultra for Mac is a high-capacity, portable external hard drive designed for reliable storage and seamless backup.
