In Portable External Hard Drives

Smallest physical size and biggest capacity.

Durable. Light Non Gloss surface so labels stick well. Decent transfer speeds. Comes with A USB C to C cable. As well as A USB C to A cable.

Great storage expansion. Excellent for when you need to free up space on the internal drive. I like to minimize the time my system wastes constantly downloading updates for games I'm not currently playing by moving them to this external drive and then disconnect it.

Exactly as advertised. Used for Xbox and performs perfectly.

I bought this drive for my son as a Christmas present. The drive came well protected and in great shape as I have come to expect from all of my years as a Newegg customer. Install was a simple plug and play.

Seems to be built really well. So far so good. Looks pretty good.

I bought this for backup storage for Pixel phone. It is a great product but not ideal for direct Android backup. -Lots of storage -Fast

I trusted WD drives

Lots of space. With photography and digital painting as hobbies storage drives can fill up fast--but not this one. Now I can save big image files without worrying how much space is left.

Does everything I expect of an ext HD, I read some complaints about the drive being loud but I've never noticed it at all during use. transfers very fast too. I bought it to keep with my laptop since it has limited storage and after using it for a month I'm very satisfied with this product.

light weight, easy set up and use. Great option for data protection and storage.

Easy to set up, good value

Cheap. Quiet. Holds a lot of DATA.

Easy installation.

SUMMARY One of the most cost-efficient per Mb, portable, high-capacity, USB-C powered mechanical drives from the market leader. THE LINE-UP WD has a vast lineup of external hard drives which can sometimes be confusing. I have purchased many of these and still have to go over the various options each time. The “My Passport” series were originally designed to be a certain size (the size of a passport) and have gone through multiple generations. They currently come as “My Passport”, “My Passport for Mac”, “Ultra”, “Ultra for Mac”, “Wireless”, “Wireless SSD”, “SSD”, “Wireless Pro”, and “X”. WD also has a similar, small form factor “Elements” series. The main differentiating feature of the “My Passport Ultra” over the “My Passport” is the USB-C interface with an included cable that can also be set up to be backward compatible to USB-A plugs. The “Ultra” series case has nice heat dissipating shiny metal on top and black plastic on the bottom with tiny rubber feet and an activity LED. I think it looks better than the previous generation metal design. WD tried to be green - using some recycled materials for the case. Everything called “My Passport” has: Option of hardware AES encryption. 3 year warranty Up to 4 TB of storage (though WD doesn’t sell any 2.5 inch 4 TB laptop drives) WD Discovery and WD Backup software SIZE Pretty amazing how something this small can hold 4TB (81.6 x 110 x 20.96 mm). I voided the warranty by taking it apart. One way the case is so small in length is that the USB-C controller is built into the drive. The shock absorption design inside the case is good.The drive inside looks like it likely uses 4 platters and is branded a blue WD drive. Unknown if they had to go SMR or if they still use PMR technology to get this density. The USB-C to USB-C cable has a removable adapter for one end so you can use it for older USB ports. The cable length with adapter is about 20 inches. SOFTWARE I have the “My Passport Ultra”. The root of my drive came with both an “Install Discovery for Windows.exe” and an “Install Discovery for Mac.dmg”. The windows software is designed to easily install and automatically can consolidate data from both online (like Facebook, Google Drive & Dropbox) and local data with the possibility of using AES-256 Encryption. The Encryption software can even add a “return-if-found” message should your drive become lost when travelling. Mine was formatted as NTFS. Natively, this will mount on a Mac as read-only. WD provides a free downloadable version of the Paragon driver that will also let you write to NTFS from macOS - (worth about $20 if you had to buy it yourself). Otherwise, if you wanted to use this on both mac and Win 7+ then you could reformat as exFAT. If you want Mac only then you could re-format as HFS. If you are a mac-only person - buy the “My Passport Ultra for Mac” which has mac software and comes in mac format. PERFORMANCE I don’t believe the drive performance is much of an issue with these mechanical external portables and WD doesn’t even publish specs for them. My testing showed good performance - about 175/165 MB/s R/W attached to a Lenovo P71 laptop with SSD internal drives. Runs cool and quiet.
