welcome to my unboxing and first look at the my passport Edge for Mac but don't
hit that dislike button yet I actually don't have a good reason for you to not
hit the dislike button you know what if you want to show Apple who boss you know
you really want to stick it to Tim Cook for having the audacity to you know
release products that are branded and for other companies to release Apple
branded you know what go ahead dislike this video go ahead don't take a second
right now press dislike on the video it'll be worth it you will get the
satisfaction that comes from sticking it to the man because I actually don't care
if you dislike the video I it's still YouTube um what are they called
interactions or engagement it's still engagement I don't care dislike the
video go for it uh so moving right along the contents are a portable hard drive
USB cable WD security W WD drive
utilities and a quick install guide the compatibility it is formatted HFS Plus
journaled for macOS 10 lion or mountain lion requires reformatting for Windows
OS so yes this is a mac Drive Apple drive formatted for apple and O it's
nice why is it that the PC Drive is always like see I'm going to where is
the PC Drive where's the PC version it's around here somewhere there it is okay
so explain this to me why do the Apple guys get all the cool stuff see look at
this here's the my passport Edge like
for PC this is the NTFS formatted one it's
plastic see look at how nice this one is this is an aluminum casing it's even is
it even thinner it's thinner see look it's
thinner it's thinner it's metal it's like sexy see look at that anodized fin
on there and then the it's like two-tone metal they did a dark anodization for
the top it overlaps down here on the usb3
interface oh this thing's amazing and this is this
is okay anyway I'm not going to be I'm not going to be angry about this because
the good news is even if you're a PC guy you can still buy this and you can use
it with your PC and you cannot use it with Apple Time Machine which it does
happen to be compatible with for backing up your Mac it can also back up your PC
though Hardware encryption with password protection keeps your data private so
that's a really good thing as well and not dependent on using it on an Apple it
is slimmer the image is not actual size although I don't understand for the life
of me why they couldn't have put an image that's the actual size there ultra
slim all metal password and encryption and I think that pretty much covers it so there's also an included USB 3 cable
which will work in USB 2 mode no problem whatsoever we're going to go ahead and
plug that in in spite of the fact that Apple didn't even deem it necessary to
implement usb3 until the very latest generation of products you know we've
had USB 3 on the PC for a long time
