My Passport Ultra 2Tb

[Metal] So for the folks who remember this company from 2000 and their advertisements for products geared towards the Mac market, it should be noted that as of 2014 that LaCie is a Seagate company. In as much as I have seen my fair share of 1TB + Seagate hard drives die since 2009, this was slightly disappointing to find out as I was coming close to filling up my 4TB WD My Passport Ultra and needed more capacity in a single drive. Also note: these are two physical drives in one. With that the folks who are used to throwing out the initial files contained on the drive out of the box need to refrain. The initial software is needed to put those two drives in a RAID 0, another drawback, is on the drive. There is an option to make a 2.5TB RAID 1. It’s on a 400 MB FAT32 partition initially. After setup the files are on the drive still but the 400MB partition is gone. And the setup application has to be run from the drive itself. If you backed up the files and deleted the partition trying to partition it manually, you can make another 400 MB FAT32 partition, labeled anything, and put the files back on the drive. Having to use this on the go a bunch I do like the big orange rubber surround on it. It is a few ounces heavier than my WD My Passport Ultra 4TB was: ~12.4 ounces to WDs ~9.4 or so. You don’t feel the drives rotating when you disconnect, so it seems you have some protection from minor shocks and impacts. As for performance, it seems right on par with the WD My Passport Ultra 4TB. All in All, it’s a good buy. Cool to have something from them. Just hope I don’t have to use that 2 Years of data recovery protection on the count of this being a RAID 0 implementation in practice. There just wasn’t a WD option beyond 4TB in a mobile drive out there :).

[Plastic] I own 2 Passport 5TB drives. They have had excellent reliability for 5 years (had a 2TB WD Passport before that and still works as expected). Excellent value for the money. WD Backup is fully automated and works great - has saved my but a couple of times. Would recommend to anyone.

[5 lb] Use this for my WD My Passport drive for Mac. Works perfectly.

[Plastic] So far, so good with the My Passport 4TB SSD, purchased about 2 months ago. It does what it's supposed to do.

Purchased with Western Digital 4TB My Passport For Mac portable external drive. This fits the drive very well, with enough space inside the case to also hold the USB 3 cable. Case also has an external pocket to hold other items such as USB thumb drives or SD memory cards.

[Bus Powered] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using WD My Passport drives for years, and have had a number of different models. They're only getting smaller and less expensive while also getting faster and offering more storage. Can't go wrong.

[5 lb] Great soft extra protection for your hard drives. I carry my WD My Passport Pro 2T Raids around in these. They are a little tight, but these are bigger drives. Case keeps them clean and protected and they're reasonably priced.

[Bus Powered] This is the second WD My Passport I bought. The texture on the case is good-looking and comfortable to grasp. The actual capacity is 3.63 TB, which should be enough for long-term backup of my videos, docs, photos, etc. It is somewhat disappointing to find that I can't decrypt the drive on Android devices. Overall, the product is good and suitable for anyone with a limited budget and a massive data storage need.

[6 TB] This is the second WD My Passport I bought a few months ago. The case is more comfortable to grasp (compared with the previous design), and the texture is good-looking. The actual capacity is 3.63 TB, which should be enough for long-term backup of my videos, docs, photos, etc. It is somewhat disappointing to find that I can't decrypt the drive on Android devices. Overall, the product is good and suitable for anyone with a limited budget and a massive data storage need.
