WD My Passport 4TB Portable External HDD - Red

The hard drive stores things as intended, plenty of space, plug and play, easy to use.

If you do get this, please make sure you have/get some sort of external power source (ie plug it into a monitor that is plugged into the pc or use an externally powered usb dock). Usb 3 ports are just barely able to power the drive, and the drive frequently drops off when used in both usb 3 and 2 ports, not great for peace of mind with data integrity although I haven't had any issues with corrupted data yet.

Otherwise perhaps consider either shucking the drive and using a HDD dock, or just buy an internal hdd with the hdd dock. The hard drive stores things as intended, plenty of space, plug and play, easy to use.

Excellent device, perfect for backing up my external SSD. Excellent device, perfect for backing up my external SSD.

Roughly getting 40~50mb/s when transferring files to it. Wouldn't use it for storing programs but just as backup drive for videos. Roughly getting 40~50mb/s when transferring files to it. Wouldn't use it for storing programs but just as backup drive for videos.

I asked in store for a Mac compatible and USB C port external hard drive to back up a damaged Macbook.
Store person selected this product and I paid and he opened it to help me transfer some data to it. But unfortunately it was a USB A not a C and he had to configure as not Mac compatible.
I stated that I was not really that happy and he checked, and they didn’t have any suitable Mac ones in stock - so I was sort of stuck with what I had -as downloading the data was critical. An he installed drivers to be able to do the data transfer
So in the end I just took it away – but this product was not what I asked for.

So in the end I just took it away – but this product was not what I asked for.
In fairness he later emailed me a how to do drivers and 2 ways that MAC can read and write from external HDD. But I just wanted a plug and play option and not have to do all this. Very disappointed with this product - but only because it was not what I asked for and after payment and opening it – I was stuck with it.

Good price, plenty of capacity, easy to use. Good price, plenty of capacity, easy to use.

I got my Passport for a great price, thanks to one of PBTech's super Black Friday deals!
It works really well and I have no regrets purchasing it!
