A: AnswerIt's unclear what you mean when you say "regular" external hard drive. I'm going to assume you mean the WD Easystore 5TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive, since it is so similar to the My Passport series. Other than slight differences in the physical dimensions of the drive, the major difference between them is that the My Passport 5TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive offers 256-bit AES Data Encryption and password protection with included WD Security software. The Easystore model does not.Answered by MPLumos

Most stable HDD, portable, and best bang for buck
Largest hard portable hard drive I could find that didn’t need its own power supply from the maker of the safest drives. I’d never use anything other than Western Digital. I just wish I could get these in 10Tb or larger. I put a strip of Velcro on the bottom so I could mount it in my MacBook case, my MacBook will hold 4 on the screen before the weight gets to much. Would like to see USB-C only cords though with an adapter for USB-A instead of vice versa, but one can obtain cheap cords elsewhere.
