USB 3.2 Gen 1According to our external hard drive HDD expert
You can store all your music, photos, and projects on the WD My Passport 5TB Black. This external hard drive is more compact and thinner than its predecessor, making it easy to take with you. The My Passport is only 8.1x11cm. Connect it to your laptop or desktop and transfer all your files with USB 3.0. Thanks to plug and play, you can get started right away. Do you want to make backups? This is done automatically by the WD Backup software. You can decide whether you want to do this continuously in the background, or at a set time. In addition, you can easily set up a password to protect your files. The hardware encryption adds a little extra by securing your files with an extra key.

Mypassport's 4 tb storage space is a nice addition to my mac storage (2 tb) for me. What I found very difficult was the format to mac. Really had to search the internet and in the end it worked because I was able to transfer it to Xfat. Would be easy if this was added step by step in a user manual. The design is simple but beautiful. Plastic-like. The box makes no noise. It writes everything quietly to the disk. Calm with an exclamation mark, because slow it is. 1TB transfer takes at least 2 hours. That went much faster on my previous WD passport. Finally, the box has a password function, which you can permanently enable, but you also have other options. Handy, if you want to keep things private. Price-quality is the great product, but I expected a faster box compared to a few years ago. That's definitely an area for improvement...
