    Western Digital My Passport 4TB Review The Western Digital My Passport 4TB external hard drive is a compact powerhouse that offers an excellent balance of storage, security, and portability. Whether you need a reliable backup solution or extra space for your growing media collection, this drive delivers. Design & Build Western Digital has kept the design sleek and minimalist, making it easy to slip into a bag or pocket. It feels sturdy and durable despite its lightweight construction. Available in multiple colors, it also offers a subtle aesthetic appeal. Performance & Features Equipped with USB 3.2 Gen 1, this drive provides fast transfer speeds that make moving large files a breeze. The 4TB capacity is more than enough for most users, whether you're storing documents, photos, or high-resolution videos. The WD Backup software adds peace of mind with automatic backups, ensuring that important files stay safe. Security is a strong point, thanks to 256-bit AES hardware encryption and password protection—an essential feature for users who value privacy. Compatibility The My Passport drive works out of the box with Windows 10, 8.1, and 7, while Mac users will need to reformat. It’s a small inconvenience, but nothing too difficult. Price & Value With prices ranging from $109 to $194.99, depending on the retailer, it's a competitive option in the market. While not the cheapest external hard drive, the combination of storage, security, and reliability makes it a smart investment. Final Verdict The Western Digital My Passport 4TB stands out as a reliable and secure external storage solution. Its sleek design, ample space, and built-in encryption make it a solid choice for users needing large-capacity storage. Whether for work or personal use, this drive is a great companion for data on the go.

    Good External Hard-drive

    This is a pretty good external hard-drive (connected via USB). It is small – about the size of a medium-sized palm for an adult – and sleek. There isn't much to really say here, as the product functions as intended and holds the promised 6TB of data.

    My Passport to Success(ful Backups)

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I like the WD - My Passport drives a lot. I've used a lot of WD drives over the years and have had a lot of success with them. This current crop is especially useful since they are so easy to use so small, light, and portable. I use them as my main Time Machine backup disks on various machines, and, in fact, just purchased another one today, since I filled up the previous one.

    I lost all my documents and pictures when I could no longer charge my old laptop. I kept taking it for granted and putting it off, but never backed them up to an external device. Now that I’ve replaced my old laptop, I wanted to ensure I had a vault for my pictures and documents. I was able to recover some pictures from Facebook, texts, and emails, but I had to spend a lot of time searching through ones I wanted to keep. This product gives me more than enough space, is compact, and easy to use.

    Large amount of storage and portable that I can transfer/use files on other computers without worry - can have EVERYTHING on this including business and personal items. I can also access if necessary from anyone who has a computer handy. Color was "just what Best Buy had on the shelf" when I needed it.

    Over the past decade, I've been partial to WD products whenever I needed external storage and/or back-up for my computer, particularly their My Passport external drives, because of their ergonomic design, ease of use, and product reliability. Therefore, when I needed another external hard drive recently, I bought this 4TB drive without hesitation. I've been extremely pleased with the performance of this drive and it is very easy to use as always. As a bonus, the blue top plate with the diagonal groves looks attractive and provides a positive grip when handling the drive. This was on sale at Best Buy when I bought it, making it an even sweeter deal.

    The WD-My Passport 4TB External Drive was purchased to hold mostly my pictures and documents that were clogging up my desk computer. It works as expected and at a good price point. I like that it had color choices, because I like to color code things! It is just the right size: compact, but not so small that it would get lost easily. Best Buy is easy to order from and shipping is fast.
