![]() Manmy apologies.WD’s new My Passport SSD is a gorgeous-looking external SSD storage device that offers storage capacities ranging between 256GB to 2TB. Sorry admins to post this twice - I posted here first then thought, I need My Passport Studio for Mac in the header, so reposted. Thank you WD for such good products, and thank you Amazon, for such good sevice. And do the Safe Boot procedure to rebuild my computers directory regularily. I have a well oiled, smooth running system. I use Disk Utility and DiskWarrior for regular preventative maintanance on all my 11 hard disks.Īnd i use Apple’s Time Machine for regular backup.īeen doing this for years. I don’t use the WD software either, no reflection on that. KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid - well known saying used in the design & advertising industry). I like to keep things as simple as possible. I don’t use any password protection, don’t see the need. I am so pleased with the WD My Passport Studio drive for Mac. I will dowload & review each days shooting to My Passport HDD, each evening. I am now ready to go filming to France next Jan, skiing with my GoPro movie camera. I use DiskWarrior on all my disks for regular preventative maintanance. I opened my copy of DiskWarrior v4.4 and rebuilt the directory. If anybody wants to know how, please ask. I changed the desk icon to the WD icon (I used the nice icon in the included isoftware). The drive was already pre formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), :). It worked straight out of the box,connected via the supplied Firewire 800 cable to my old, trusty Mac G4 Powerbook laptop, :) I returned the Ultra to Amazon for a refund, and took delivery of a !TB Pasport Studio for Mac a day or so ago, also, from Amazon UK. I thought I’d let you know the happy outcome (good news seldom gets published in this type of forum). I don’t really need to upgrade my laptop as it scurrently does all I need it to do. The Ultra is supposed to be USB 2 compatable. I’m not sure if the laptop delivers enough power through the USB 2 connection to run the Ultra drive, the blue light looks good though, so some power is being delivered. My laptop is a Powerbook G4 (Power PC) running OS X 10.5.8. Then ran it through DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory - good practice for HDD regular maintanance.įinally I tried connecting it back to my laptop. ![]() I then plugged it back into my iMac and used Disk Utility to change the format to Mac OS Extended, Journaled as normal procedure for HDD’s with Macs. ![]() So I tried connecting to my laptop it didn’t mount and Disk Utility didn’t see it either. The first thing I did was checked to see if it mounted on the iMac ,which it did. ![]() I am an experienced Mac user, I have an recent iMac and a 7 year old Powerbook with USB 2 connectivity. I have just bought an external HDD a 1TB My Passport Ultra which has USB 3 connectivity. ![]()
