MANILA, Philippines - WD, a subsidiary of Western Digital Corp., has introduced its newest version of My Passport line of portable hard drives for PC and Mac with the debut of My Passport Edge.

The My Passport Edge and My Passport Edge for Mac feature 500GB of storage and a USB 3.0 interface for fast read/write speeds to help consumers effectively manage, share and enjoy digital content everywhere they go.

Its sleek, ultra-slim design makes transport easy and convenient while a variety of security features protects the drive’s content from unauthorized access.

The My Passport Edge for Mac portable hard drive complements popular MacBook computers and MacBook Air computer designs with an all-aluminum exterior to protect the drive and its contents from everyday bumps.

The My Passport Edge for Mac is also compatible with Apple Time Machine for added peace of mind and seamless operation out of the box with one’s Mac computer.

The My Passport Edge (PC-version) portable hard drive incorporates WD SmartWare continuous and automatic backup software to create a copy of users’ computer content to ensure personal digital files are backed up and protected in the event of computer loss or theft.

For a sleek look, the My Passport Edge was also re-engineered with a new design for a premium finish.

“WD’s new My Passport Edge portable drives for Mac and PC offer mobile users a safe, compact, attractive way to conveniently work or play anywhere life or business may take them,” said Jim Welsh, executive vice president and general manager of WD’s branded products and consumer electronics groups.

“We know that people who bring personal and business content along with them on their travels are concerned with portability and with maintaining privacy while also protecting their data. We design all My Passport products with a small footprint and with security and protection in mind,” Welsh added.

My Passport Edge and My Passport Edge for Mac 500- GB portable hard drives come with a three-year limited warranty. Both are available at select retailers and are locally distributed by EA Global Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. and Iontech Technologies Inc.
