Just days after WD revealed new 2TB My Passport drives for the USB 3.0-respecting world, along comes an option for those running OS X. Apart from the traditional USB 2.0 socket at the My Passport Studio, the Mac-friendly unit also packs a couple of FireWire 800 sockets. Not surprisingly, it ships with hardware-based encryption and password protection software, and while it'll probably come formatted for an Apple, there's nothing in any respect stopping other platforms from taking advantage. It'll ship in any capacity you will have as long as you're comfortable with 2TB, and it will be available at fine retailers world wide this month for $299.99.
