The external hard disks My Passport Studio, of Wester Digital, primarily intended for laptop and Mac as the new Mac laptops do not use more FireWire port to which these discs were connected, they had to change their technology.

For this reason the people in the company announced that from now on the new discs in this series will have FireWire 800 port as alternative connect and all those who want to connect and unused port will have to use an adapter (yes, a bit annoying for my taste).

It was also announced that the capacity of the new portable HDDs will increase to 400GB and 500GB with a value of U.S. $ 230 and $ 250, respectively.
