My Passport Studio is the ideal companion for the photographer, videographer, graphic
artist, or creative professional on the go.

encryption for your drive to protect your files from unauthorized use or access.
WD Drive Utilities™ software—Register your drive, set drive security, run diagnostics
and more using the WD Drive Utilities software.
Formatted for Mac—HFS+ Journaled so it works right out of the box with your Mac
computer. Can be reformatted for Windows computers.
Compatible with Apple Time Machine—Back up your files with Apple Time Machine.
No power adapter required—The drive is powered through the FireWire or USB port,
so there's no need to lug around a bulky power adapter.
WD quality inside and out—We know your data is important to you. So we build the
drive inside to our demanding requirements for durability, shock tolerance, and long-
term reliability. Then we protect the drive with a robust enclosure designed for beauty
and protection.
