    Running good with 4K editing.

    Its easy and it does not having me problems yet. Im editing in 4K and i have my doubts about this HD because is old, but everything goes well with Davinci Resolve and 4K without proxys. So, well done.

    Great for Time Machine. Good value.

    I bought this for Time Machine on my wife's iMac. Since it's her business machine, backup is vital. It must be reformatted for the time machine back up, but that's quick and easy enough. Almost automatic, but not quite. I gave her 3TB for Time Machine and 1TB for project storage. The "Mac experts" recommend three times the HD space for time Machine backups. So again, being her business machine that's what I did, just to be sure. So far, it's great. It's silent and small, its powered by USB C, so it just sits out of the way doing its vital job. WD has always been a good brand, and the passport a good product to my experience with them. Recommended.

    Good size and heav, comes with cable C,

    So far works good, for the beginning I had a problem to figuring out how to connect to the computer. Then I just decided to use old fashion way and just transfer ill my file myself. It has good size memory and defining lot of different functions, such as you can add the passcode on it also you can connect to the company and it will automatically back up everything whats in it. Good size and heav, comes with cable C, as well as USB

    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.
