June 15th, 2015 by Tucker Mindrum WD My Passport for Mac Review WD has released a seventh generation of their popular My Passport line of external hard drives. The most notable upgrades with this line are an increase in maximum capacity (3TB), customization options, improved backup capabilities, and a line of models designed specifically for use with Mac OS. This review explores the Mac models, but the other new features are detailed in the new review. This line of drives is more or less just an adaptation of the My Passport Ultra that is optimized for Mac out of the box. The regular My Passport Ultra is compatible with Mac OS after reformatting, but users that know that they will be using a Mac might find this model to be easier. It comes with 256-bit AES encryption for added security, as well as compatibility with Apple Time Machine. Users can run diagnostics and format the My Passport with WD Drive Utilities, but other than that it is a plug and play drive that can be used to transfer and store up to 3TB of data.

WD Community It's taken a fall or two to the soft carpet floor from a height of about 16 inches, but I don't think this should be a problem. I'm sorry, but those 16 inches are more than enough to damage a drive. The drive is probably physically damaged. It doesn't take much of a bump to damage them. Professional data recovery is likely the only solution. Joe Well, yeah. Dropping the drive on the floor even from 12-16 inches will break it.

Sorry, but if you need the data, you're looking at data recovery, and that's if they can help you. What OS are you using and does the drive show in Disk Management? Does it say anything in Disk Management down where the bars are shown like Raw?

Never trust important data to just one drive intern.
