My Passport Portable Storage Instructions

Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros: -Hard drive plugs in and works
-Speeds are great

Cons: -Packaging was bad there was nothing to prevent my hard drive from rattling around in the box!

Overall Review: For something like a mechanical hard drive, id expect at least a minimal amount of Styrofoam or Foam peanuts but there was nothing. That was the reason for giving it 3 stars

Pros: Inexpensive at time (can buy a bigger capacity for the same price now), matches the xbox one almost to a tee. Faster than the 5400 rpm spinner in the xbox.

Cons: Shortish cord. Newer ones are the same price with a higher capacity.

Overall Review: Bought this to increase the storage space on my xbox, since replacing the internal drive is a real pain. Got to say, it has been running flawlessly for this whole time. Quick and easy reformat. Looks like a mini xbox on top of my xbox.

Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
High quality, Compact, Quiet and SecureThe drive is compatible to Windows 7 - 10 along with MacOS Maverick Yosemite El Capitan, and Sierra (See reformatting the drive and troubleshooting on page 29 - 30 of manual), while the backup software is compatible to Windows 7 - 10.
This is overall a good drive and is good for backup and storage. I would recommend purchasing the 4TB drive for an additional $53.00.

Cons: Pricing is a big Con for this drive. While the 4TB drive is $27.00 per TB, the 3 TB is $33.00 per TB, the 2TB is $38.00 per TB, and the 1TB is $57.00 per TB. This pricing makes it a wise decision to buy anything but the 1TB drive.

Overall Review: I cannot recommend this drive unless all you wanted to buy was a 1 TB Drive, I would recommend the 4TB drive for purchase. If it was possible I would change the per TB pricing to reflect a closer price to the 4TB drive.
I also noticed that some reviewers said that this drive uses a Micro B USB cable that is hard to find, but this type of USB 3 cable can be purchased online in case you lose or want a longer cable..

Pros: Very affordable and portable USB hard drive. But for about 2x the price, you can get 4x the storage by getting the 4TB version. I’ve been collecting music and movies for over a decade and I almost filled the drive entirely.
Available in several vibrant colors
Nothing rattling around in the case- seems strong and durable
USB 3.0 connectivity

Cons: Uses that weird USB cable (micro B)... it’s not as common and might not be able to use a random cable lying around to replace it

Overall Review: Comes pre-formatted and ready to use for Windows PC computers
Cord is a little over a foot long. Longer cords can be helpful to plug into things like a desktop’s USB ports but can also be a nuisance when traveling
The glossy black finish on half of the drive does show finger prints. I suspect it will get visible scratches if stored with anything metallic
Copied 744GB of files, music, and movies through a USB 3.0 hub at an average of about 27 MB/s. Took over 6 hours to fully copy the files that I wanted to backup.
Comes with Western Digital software on the drive. It allows for automatic backups and encryption but Pro versions of Windows offer similar features and are built into the operating system. I guess this would be helpful for people without Pro versions of Windows.
