This model is the latest generation of the many My Passport drives I've owned or purchased for clients. They have proven reliable and good performers. They have incrementally improved with each new generation. This model features a new case design which I feel is much better looking and is slightly smaller than the last version. BOTTOM LINE (for the impatient): This model is a little bit faster than the last (2016) model I bought. I got the black 2TB model and this generation offers up to a 5TB model as well as the usual smaller capacities. This model is just noticeably faster than the last generation on sequential reads and writes when I tested using CrystalDiskMark. This My Passport has a new design that returns to rounded corners and soft-look matte case. I like this much better than the older one with its cheap-looking (to me) styling. The drive is slightly less thick, wide and long than the 2016 model. In my laptop bag that’s welcome even if not a lot smaller. I’m very pleased with this My Passport drive as with ones purchased over the last decade plus. It’s reliable, fast for a USB mechanical HD and gives a lot of space for a low price. If you want more details, read on... SUMMARY: The My Passport USB 3.0 drives are simple to use and come with reasonable software tools and backup/sync software. These are now in a single installer on the drive. I have my own backup solution and do not want encryption on this drive, so have not explored this software. If these are of interest, be sure to check for newer versions on the WD web site. Pluses: + This drive works fine with Windows, Linux or Mac out of the box. With Linux or Mac (where it is read-only with NTFS). They generally performs best when reformatted with a native file system to the respective operating system. Mine came formatted with NTFS for Windows. + This generation has 5TB, 4TB, 2TB, and 1TB models. The 500GB models were dropped a couple of generations ago and more recently the 3TB models. + This drive is faster than the last generation, but just a little. Up to about 3% faster in benchmarks, but barely noticeable in practical use. + The form factor of the new drive is lighter and slightly smaller before with a much nicer case without pointy corners and scratch/fingerprint prone glossy finish. + The warranty has been returned to 3 years from 2 years on the 2016 generation. Minuses: - It comes with the same very short USB 3.0 cable as previous versions. I like a longer 3ft (or more) USB 3.0 cable : a very good upgrade purchase for the My Passport drives. IN THE BOX: The My Passport comes in a easy to open retail package containing the drive and a annoyingly short USB 3.0 cable. There are a couple small pieces of paper for warranty and quick-start. That's it. The cable in this model is the same as previous versions. This may be just fine for a lot of folks but I keep some 3ft (or more) USB 3.0 cables handy for longer runs to my desktop or even on top of a tall computer. FORM FACTOR vs. PREVIOUS GENERATION: I'll compare the new generation of My Passport with my 2016 My Passport Ultra This Model My Passport's dimensions: 1TB-2TB: 0.27lb, 4.22in X 0.44in X 2.95in 4TB-5TB: 0.46lb, 4.22in X 0.46in X 2.95in 2016 My Passport's dimensions: 1TB: 0.37lb, 4.33in X 0.64in X 3.21in 2TB-4TB: 0.54lb, 4.33in X 0.85in X 3.21in TESTING: I tested both my older 2016 My Passport 4TB drive and my new My Passport 4TB model using CrystalDiskMark benchmark software and by copying 11GB folder of updates and files to the drive. This was to compare the benchmark with real-world copying. The 11GB folder has a broad mix of file sizes and types including files an over 2GB iso DVD image. Using CrystalDiskMark I found sequential reads were about 3% faster and writes about 8% faster with the new model. Random reads were just a tiny bit slower and writes were about 8X (!!!) faster. While the benchmarks showed significant differences using them in my real-world copy test the difference was most noticeable with lots of smallish files, but not so much with large sequential reads/writes. If you need to write smallish files this drive is noticeably better than the 2016 model and about the same for large files. For my testing the My Passport drive was connected to built-in USB 3.0 controller on my Dell 7710 Precision Mobile Workstation. I also tried it on a older add-in card with the Renasas USB 3.0 chip set on my Dell Precision T7500 tower. I have the latest Renasas drivers installed. Both are running build 1903 of Windows 10 Pro and both have SATA SSD boot drives. I used CrystalDiskMark V7 64bit version. CRYSTALDISKMARK Results: The New Generation My Passport: Sequential Read (Q8T1): 129.18 MB/s Sequential Write (Q8T1): 119.75 MB/s Sequential Read (Q1T1): 120.37 MB/s Sequential Write (Q1T1): 118.08MB/s Random Read (Q32T16): 4KiB 0.6 MB/s Random Write (Q32T16): 4KiB 10.8 MB/s Random Read (Q1T1): 4KiB 0.49 MB/s Random Write (Q1T1): 4KiB 7.8 MB/s The 2016 My Passport: The New Generation My Passport: Sequential Read (Q8T1): 125.5 MB/s Sequential Write (Q8T1): 113.7 MB/s Sequential Read (Q1T1): 119.1 MB/s Sequential Write (Q1T1): 113.7 MB/s Random Read (Q32T16): 4KiB 0.573 MB/s Random Write (Q32T16): 4KiB 1.290 MB/s Random Read (Q1T1): 4KiB 0.505 MB/s Random Write (Q1T1): 4KiB 1.305 MB/s REAL WORLD COPY: In my real world copy test the new My Passport drive was just noticeably faster than the older My Passport Ultra. More on the writing than reading side and more noticeably with smaller files than larger files. It peaked out at about 70MB/s with large files. I never dropped below 35MB/s even with large amounts of small files being copied to the drive. The 2016 My Passport Ultra peaked out at about 68MB/s and dropped several times to 30MB/s. I'm thinking the newer drive may have a larger on-drive write cache or maybe it's just a bit faster drive. Maybe both. On big copies the new My Passport may save you a few seconds here or there but if copying a lot of small files to it the difference was much more noticeable. CONCLUSIONS: The My Passport line of drives from Western Digital has been very good to me and to my clients. This reliable and good to excellent performing line has a long positive history with me. This WD My Passport model is an evolution over the 2016 My Passport. I'm picking it for new purchases over the older model, but won't rush out to replace older drives. I like this 2019 My Passport’s rounded corner case better than the 2016 sharp edged and glossy one, but it's very minor point for me. Overall it's an excellent evolution to a 5 star predecessor and continues to be a very good external storage choice. For making improvements in small file write performance and correcting the 2016 bad case design issue this new 2019 generation of My Passport drives is worth 5 stars in my opinion. Hope this helps someone!

I just received this 5TB Passport today. It's an HDD, NOT an SSD. It works great and receives data much faster than my older 4TB Passport, which I have used for 4 years. The old drive still works just fine-I use it with Acronis Backup. My only annoyance is NOT with the operation of this drive-it's that it doesn't have the little non-slip rubber feet that came on the older drive that keep it solidly in place. These units are very light and the new one slides around far too easily with the slightest bump or movement of the cable. I have some little vinyl stick-on bumpers (Amazon: SURFACE GARD-3/8 inch) and they worked well after I touched the tips with sandpaper after installing them. This is the ONLY reason for the 4-Star rating for this drive. WD saves pennies by leaving the non-slip feet off, so they DESERVE the lower rating! I really like Western Digital drives and have used them exclusively in my machines for almost 30 years. They have served well with only one failure, many years ago. This attempt to save a few pennies on this 5TB Passport has unnecessarily set the stage for a catastrophic failure (if it falls off the table while in operation) and is just plain cheap!

Extremely durable hard drive. Here are some quick tips: yes, it can be reformatted into exFat so that it works with Mac or Linux, and it can be partitioned, if needed. Yes, you can rename the drive anything you want. I would not leave it plugged in continuously. Just plug it in long enough to save, store, or access what you need, and then unplug it and save it for later. If you do this, it will last for years without a problem. I keep a spreadsheet with everything I have on my hard drives and I number them, so that I don't have to keep going back and checking where I put some random file. I have stored files as large as 50 GB on Windows 10 using this drive without any issues. It should be able to handle anything you throw at it and last. Formatting and wiping has never been a problem. Definitely worth the price for this much storage. I even bought two of this model.

When I initiated the installation of this backup drive, I immediately had an error message from the computer. Chat agent was helpful, but when I tried suggested steps, I had another error message. I submitted a request for email assistance and had a timely response. Several interactions were necessary because each action resulted in another issue. Rapid response though enabled me to complete the installation successfully. I would suggest that the agents simplify instructions for most novice users. As of now, the device appears to be working as intended. A note: the mailing package (plastic bag) was not as protective as I would have expected/wanted for such a device.

There’s not much to say because it works as advertised, holds a lot of data and is lightweight. I don’t know how long a mechanical drive will hold up versus an SSD but those are too expensive for me. But I’ve dropped this puppy on the floor a couple times and it keeps going. So I bought another one. Transfer speeds are fine for me. I can stream a movie from it.

I had multiple 4TB HDDs and I was looking for 2 2TB HDDs. I've ended up buying this one and Seagate one since both had high ratings and I wanted to distribute risk since disks will be infrequently used for a long term backup. Both work fine, transfer speeds are satisfactory and so far only distinguishing factor is that WD is slightly smaller (10milimeters less on height, 5milimeters less on width and 3-4milimeters on thickness) . I've just ordered 3rd 2TB disk and opted for WD due to size.

Formatted the drive to allow data transfers between my PC and MAC. Intel platforms no longer getting things done while my MACS just keep on plugging. 2008 White Unibody to M1 still getting jobs done. Once all the data was migrated from PC world reformatted for MAC.
