The most notable upgrades with this line are an increase in maximum capacity (3TB), customization options, improved backup capabilities, and a line of models designed specifically for use with Mac OS.

This review explores the Mac models, but the other new features are detailed in the new My Passport Ultra (7th Generation) review.

It comes with 256-bit AES encryption for added security, as well as compatibility with Apple Time Machine.

Users can run diagnostics and format the My Passport with WD Drive Utilities, but other than that it is a plug and play drive that can be used to transfer and store up to 3TB of data.

The USB 3.0 port powers the device, so no additional power supply is needed.

The top is black with some branding, and the edges are rounded.

In terms of dimensions, it is identical to the My Passport Ultra.

The bottom of the device has some branding and product information.

The diagnose tab allows users to check for drive failures with Run Drive Status Check.

Run Quick Drive Test and Run Complete Drive Test are used to check the drive for performance issues.

This reformats and renames the device, and removes any passwords that have been added.

It maintains compatibility with PC operating systems (which requires reformatting), and it is similar in functionality and performance to the seventh generation My Passport Ultra.

There is only one port on the device, which provides both data transfer and power supply via USB 3.0.

This is a reasonable finding though, since G-DRIVE is a higher end (and more expensive) model and WD mostly intends to provide inexpensive portable storage.
