#WD MY PASSPORT EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE REVIEW PRO#

My Passport Pro is a very high speed and high efficient drive, so it needs more power to perform, and yes this has made WD to eliminate the requirement of AC adaptor to power up the drive.Īt the top, My Passport Pro achieves 233MB/S transfer speeds on normal usage. The drive has an integrated Thunderbolt cable, yes no USB connector, so your two or three only USB ports are still free to use, isn’t it a nice approach by WD? But the main reason for using the Thunderbolt is to meet the hard drive’s power requirement. The drive has an all metal casing with a very smooth finish that looks premium, just like what Apple users like to use. The drive comes in 2TB and 4TB storage capacity variants, and what we reviewed is a 4TB variant. WD offers four types of external drives for Mac, and My Passport Pro is their flagship model that comes with all the latest tech they have to offer. If you’re looking for external storage options, you should read this review.

#WD MY PASSPORT EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE REVIEW PORTABLE#

I got WD’s My Passport Pro 4TB portable external hard drive for review, and I am using it for a while now. But as a Mac user, I prefer to use a drive that is specifically made for Macs only because it allows the high-speed transfer of data and risk of data loss due to any technical incompatibility is also less. I love to click pictures in high-quality, so I am always in need of more storage to store the collection of my photos. I am using a MacBook Air, which comes with 256GB of internal storage only and not enough for my storage needs as I am a hobby photographer as well. It is also a reason where our requirement of an external drive comes to life. Our laptops are getting slimmer and thinner, which actually doesn’t offer high-capacity internal storage, and it’s like impossible to keep all the data on your laptop only. The leading storage solutions provider like Western Digital aka WD are well aware of this ever-increasing hunger for more storage space, so they have come up a nice range of external hard drives for both Mac and Windows based machines. And yes, better quality means bigger files, and bigger files mean more space and fast access required. As our devices are getting better day by day and urge of having better quality in everything is increasing, the size files is getting bigger as well.
