The WD My Passport is faster than its Seagate and LaCie rivals with lots of smaller files and folders, but not in sustained throughput. The 4TB model is a little weighty, at 267g including the bundled micro-USB cable. But it’s also better than average at writing large batches of smaller files and folders, as you can see in the chart below. With the 4TB model landing, making for a cost per GB, its a good-value drive. We started off the review with a mild warning about the My Passport 4TB’s tepid performance with large files, and indeed it falls about 10MBps short of average. This is a very nice software bundle considering that the My Passport is essentially the company’s entry-level USB drive. WD does provide backup software a drive utility that will check the status and secure-erase the drive as well as encryption software for dealing with sensitive data. WD doesn’t provide anything fancy like LaCie’s dual FAT/NTFS or HFS+ partitioning utility, but you can use the Windows or OS X (or Linux) system utilities for that. After the color-coding response, we didn’t ask whether tactile grip was the reason, but it does have that effect. The waves also provide a better grip on the smooth, glossy plastic. WD has added even more consumer bait by beveling a stylish wavy texture into the half of the drive that’s home to the powered micro-B USB port and power indicator. The wavy bevels also make for a better grip.
#WD MY PASSPORT 4TB REVIEW PORTABLE#
The WD My Passport offers more flair than you might expect from a mainstream portable USB drive.
