Western Digital 4TB my Passport Ultra Blue
I purchased My Passport Ultra Blue portable external hard drive recently and this was the best purchase I’ve made in a long time. I’ve been using flash drives to store all of my data and this one device replace all of them. Download speeds are exceptional and storage space is amazing. Would highly recommend.
