I purchased one for $10 at my local computer store. **Q: Can I boot from this drive on a mac? In other words, is it bootable?** A: Yes, if you format the drive in Mac native format, and use a clone application like Bombich Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC), the external drive should be bootable on your Mac. You have to have macOS copied over, for it to be bootable. You hold down the option key when booting, to get a boot device selection menu during the boot. **Q: Good to use with a crome pixelbook (chrome os) ?** A: The short answer is YES. You will need to format the external hard drive through your files (blue) folder. However, before doing that, connect the external drive to your USB port and try to save a file to the hard drive. If it works fine, then you don't need to reformat. Hope that helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rapidez, Diseño y Ligera *by J***. on 26 November 2019* Un producto de primera calidad, con unos acabados y diseño notables.

Unable to mount and making bad sounds. Probably lost all data on it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Veloce, usb c e capiente *by G***E on 27 March 2019* Dopo anni di onorato servizio ho dovuto sostituire un analogo hard disk western Digital, in quanto il settore del disco era non leggibile/danneggiato. Hard disk compatto, di nuova generazione, bello da vedere, leggero e sottile. Buone performance riguardo il trasferimento dei dati grazie alla porta usb c (presente adattore usb 3.0). Si può anche utilizzare con windows 10 scaricando appositi driver o riformattando l'unità. Consigliato l'acquisto anche per la garanzia di affidabilità del marchio. Spedizione Amazon Prime velocissima con consegna in locker, in alcuni casi si spreca meno tempo che andare in un negozio fisico tradizionale. ## Frequently Bought Together - WD 5TB My Passport Ultra for Mac Silver, Portable External Hard Drive, backup software with defense against ransomware, and password protection, USB-C and USB 3.1 - WDBPMV0050BSL-WESN - Lacdo Hard Drive Carrying Case for Western Digital WD Elements/WD My Passport/My Passport Ultra Portable External Hard Drive HDD 1TB 2TB 4TB 5TB 6TB USB 3.0 Protective Storage Travel Bag, Black - UGREEN 10 Gbps Micro B to USB C Hard Drive Cables, 1.5FT USB C to Micro B, External Hard Drive Cable Compatible with MacBook Pro/Air, iPad/Tablet, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S24, WD Seagate etc --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/317131766-my-passport-ultra-for-mac](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/317131766-my-passport-ultra-for-mac) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
