Large Storage Space in Tiny Size| Gorgeous Looks ððª
I keep taking a lot of 4K videos regularly and with the limited computer drive storage, the 2TB Passport Drive from Western Digital has become the savior. More than just the storage space and transfer speeds, it’s the Supremely Sleek design and WD software support that makes this product unique.I personally loved the Red variant of all. The Red – Black Dual color combination with matt finish just makes the whole hardrive design very minimalistic. If you are person who want to carry light and smart, this product perfectly suits it. Though it’s named Passport, it’s much smaller than a passport. Fits easily in the palm and does slip out easily.———————–â©â© Box Contents:———————–1 Western Digital Passport, 1 Data Cable and 1 User Manual .——————â©â© Features:——————ð· Usable Storage Space : 1.81 TBð· USB 3.0 Speeds.

Excellent product. Packaging is good too. Poor delivery handling!
Hard Disks are SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT.The WD strong moulded plastic packaging is quite good and can handle pressure.The outer WD Box (paper) is also good.The delivery process or handling seems VERY Poor… as confirmed with multiple Amazon delivery agents… where the outer box gets damaged because of poor or rough handling.

My 5TB was full and I was trying to backup my NAS. So glad the 6TB version came out, now I can back up the NAS with room to spare (for now). Small, light, and very portable. It’s my data source when I’m on the road.

This WD external hard drive arrived very promptly after ordering in perfect condition in commercial packaging. It is small yet mighty with 4TB of storage space and uses USB to connect to a hub. Works fine. I have used Western Digital products many times over the past 30 years and they have proven to be reliable and relatively long lasting computer hardware. Performance (read-write speeds for data transfer) are fine. Not light speed but perfectly good for a home movie, music and gaming library or backup.

Me gusto la opción de encriptación. Un diseño muy compacto. Solo falta algún lugar para guardar el cable como los Adata que se puede poner el cable en la misma carcasa pero todo lo demás excelente

I thought it was plug and play from getting out of the boxI did the Mac installation as per the software installed on the disk but it did not enable read / write on the macI had to go onto YouTube to figure out about doing a disk erase and specify the disk operating system (all done via Disk Utilities on Mac). The process was quick (5 min) and after that the disk worked fine and I was able to do TimeMachine backup.So the main issue is not that the disk is nog good, it’s just that it took a bit of investigative work to get it going, and the installed software ON the disk does not do what it is supposed to do.
