So strategically, I decided it was time for a new one. This month, I ran out of space on my last WD backup drive and Time Machine had started to delete the earliest back-ups from back in 2016. Oh! - and I also have one (a fifth) in my laptop bag for backups of an old MacBook Pro - still functioning perfectly as required using Time Machine. Two are permanently connected to my MAC and in daily use and the other two are offline archives. But ALL FOUR of my WD Drives - and those bought by my daughter also - continue to perform perfectly when required. I just purchased my fourth such WD drive - a 2Tb version - in it's latest style (as of January 2019). Plug the WD drive into the USB socket on your computer and use Time Machine for backups just by following the Mac OS prompts to make sure you select the correct drive for your Time Machine to target. There's no need to even instal the software on your computer. They're sold as MAC and Time Machine compatible. ALL of MY WD "My Passport" for MAC, portable hard drives that I've purchased over the last 8 years have worked straight out of the box without recourse to having to use the bundled WD software.
