Western Digital extends its line of Mac compatible hard drives

Pre-formatted for Mac and offering a USB interface, the drives offer easy-to-use storage.

WD’s latest Mac-ready drives work with Apple Time Machine or other Mac backup software to provide protection for consumers’ digital photos and media.

“Now our users can choose from a full range of storage solutions that are ready to use with their Mac computers right out of the box.

“From the sleek design of the new My Passport for Mac, to the use of the eco-friendly hard drive technology on the My Book Mac Edition, WD continues to deliver what Mac users are looking for,” he added.
