WD My Passport External HDD Reviews
old school cable
By Anthony
Rated 4 out of 5

The drive does what it's supposed to -- giant Time Machine backup. I've used Western Digital for decades and I trust them. The cable is USB-A to the computer, and a kind of krunky connector on the drive side. Not a problem really, except you'll need a USB-A to USB-C converter for Mac hardware.
Excelent product

Do the job, is slow for transfers BUT for the price and size is worth it! Include an app but you don’t need it. Works for Mac
