Q: QuestionIs there a real difference between the Easystore and the My Passport models besides the Hardware Encryption (which I have no clue what that does) and the Password Protection? Just trying to justify spending less money if I can. TIA.
Asked by doajeff.
- A:Answer 5TB PASSPORT is Designed for Mac and Time Machine ready USB-C and USB-A compatible Password protection + 256-bit hardware encryption Up to 5TB capacity Slim design Easy to use 3-year limited warranty Trusted drive built with WD reliability WD Discovery software for WD Security, Social Media and Cloud Storage import and WD Drive Utilities Superspeed USB port; USB 2.0 compatible I am with you.. they are both Great Hard drives and if all you are doing is storing YOUR stuff than the easy store is the best deal. That said you get an extra year warranty password protection and the 5tb passport does work with Time machine. I own both only because at the time, one was a better buy than the other when i needed space. Really the speed of transfer and reliability is the same.
