  • This is not a true USB-C connection

    I'm sure this product is fine normally but the one I purchased had a broken connection. It had a USB-C adapter but was not a true USB-C like the Ultra versions of these passports. The information at initial purchase was very confusing. I returned it due to the broken connection on the drive itself and did not re-buy. I will wait for WD to make a 5TB ultra with a true USB-C connection.

    I purchased this drive to use on an xbox one. It was immediately recognized & I had no issues formatting it for the xbox. As others have stated, it only shows 4.5GB available. I am happy with it.

    I’ve used this brand for my MacBook Pro before and getting it set up is such a hassle. If you plan on using this for any kind of sharing or use outside of stationary personal use, check a different brand for Mac because this isn’t worth the stress and time it took to finally get it operational.

    It's being used as a backup hard drive, plug it in, update the software, identify what to back up and call it a day.
