WD 4TB HDD
This is a great portable HDD. I use this to as backup my images when traveling. This way I have the originals on the CF and SD cards, and copies on this drive. It is fast, portable and best of all affordable.

I would buy this product again
Worked just as advertised. Not even a burbank out of box. Not finished loading pics yet. I think we'll worth the price

Ask me again in 10 years
This is a 4 TB USB 3.0 hard drive. It's a commodity item - either it stores my data for 5 to 10 years (ideally longer) or it doesn't. If it suffers a catastrophic failure next week, I'll be able to write a bad review. But if it performs well I won't be able to write a good review for a decade or longer. I've had good luck with other WD drives, but as they say, past performance is no guarantee of future results. My only comment really has nothing ... Show More

A Reliable Standby
The product works as expected and is my 3rd WD external drive. They have all seemed to be reliable backups for photos/videos/documents.

WD Portable at a great price
WD products in general are pretty reliable, excepting a series of Red NAS drives I encountered which I understand experienced some production problems. This is a handy, speedy USB 3 portable at a great price that so far is humming along nicely. The blue case makes it hard to misplace.

Great drive and big 4GB
This drive is my primary drive for music files and it's great for high-res music that tends take a lot of space.

New Design and Colors with the WD Ease and Reliability
I am glad they offer these drives with 4 Tera bite storage capacity - amazing in such a small unit. The drives are easy to use and I really haven't tried another brand as they are quite reliable, I've been using for years. The new color offerings will help identify the drives while plugged in as they have matching colored cords, that is smart. I've been naming my drives with the new color as a name so last one was yellow4 that works great with the new choices - I think I will buy orange4 next.

Always a dependable product
This is not my first My Passport, and it was as usual, very easy to set up. I have a MacBook, and it was recognized immediately, reformatted for the Mac in the blink of an eye, and ready to save files. My other one I use solely for Time Machine backups; this one will be used for saving various files and photos I want to archive or work with on the side. If you have a Mac, it will recognize it, tell you it wants to reformat it, and all you have to do is tell it to go ahead. Simple process.

meh
Previous versions were sleeker in appearance, with rounded edges. This has a artificial-feeling plastic with sharp(er) corners. Weird kind of retro feel. Doesn't work with older versions of Windows, like my previous drives did. Remember a solid 500 gb are going to be wasted so it's not a full 4 tb. Would buy again given good price and size but don't love this incarnation.

I would buy this again and will.
4TB you just can't beat that in a portable drive. RED color, even better. I use it to backup photos off my laptop. It is quick, thank you USB3.

Awesome speed, great price for 4TB.
This drive is awesome, you just can't beat 4TB, especially at the price from B&H. The lowest price around. I use it for back up huge amount of family pictures from my laptop. The speed is great. I will eventually get another drive to back up this drive for safety reasons.

WD 4TB Portable Hard Drive
I have been a fan of WD Drives for some time and this product has continued to impress. The build is sturdy and pleasing to the eye. I use WD drives to carry business and leisure files when I travel and the capacity of this one means I can reduce the weight of carrying two or three lots of storage. I have had no problems with WD drives which seem to be extremely reliable and I believe my new 4TB drive will continue to give me the reliabiity I need. Although slightly more expensive than some other makers' products I still feel they are value for money have already recommended them to friends.

yes if ou live in the US
Very good items, But 3 items and 3 boxes and 3 fees for delivery in canada I will choose a new store next time. Delivery by DHL is very bad. High custom administration fee, no tracking system, , Since Purolator is not available anymore from them I will buy elsewhere. I am sad for that since B&H is a good store.

Like the size, blue color, and ability to secure the data on the 4tb passport. Took a little head scratching to figure out how to reformat to exfat for the MAC, as it comes NTSF formatted.

Great Value
My current 2TB. Is a WD. It has been great so far and that is why I went again with a western digital. As I backed up, my current hard drive I was impressed with the speed of this drive. It also looks much better in life compared to the pictures on the site. I really wanted the metal edition but since this was the only one I stock, I got this instead not disappointed with the purchase.

Great product, horrible packaging by B&H
I've had 3 of these a couple of weeks and they have not failed, so I expect they won't. I've bought probably a dozen Passports over the years and none has ever failed. But B&H shipped these in an oversized box with NO padding. They rattled loose in the shipping box all the way from NY to CA. I can only hope that the delicate drives don't show damage later on.The Passports rate 5 stars if they keep working. B&H rates 1 star for shipping. Love everything else about B&H, but not its shipping department.

Works just fine
Using as abackup drive attached to a Synology NAS. PLugged in and powered off bus it worked just fine. If it fails in the next 12 months i'll update my review. Reasonable transfer speeds (limited by USB 2.0 bus speed on the NAS).

Large capacity is great but...
It doesn't work on some of my peripheral USB ports. So my guess, with the large capacity, it also requires more power to drive it. I had to move around to a different USB port to get it to connect. Never had that problem with WD 2TB drives. Maybe, it hits the ceiling on what USB port can power. I'll stay with 2TB drives in the future.

It's a lot smaller than it looks in the pictures.
It's a small portable drive that doesn't require external power and does what I ask of it. I have no complaints, it's a good drive. If I were to change anything, I'd tweak how the activity light works. It just blinks at a constant rate when the drive is accessed. It's really like it if the light better indicated the actual data access from and to the drive. There is a utility to turn off the light completely but that's really a solution.

Great drives
I love these portable drives. I go through about 6 a year filling them up with photos. I've been using them for probably 7 years with no problems to date.

Tiny and fast
It's amazing that I can carry 4TB around in my pocket. This drive is tiny and fast and doesn't need a separate power source.

Certainly would consider 4TB WD My Passport at this time/
I use My Passport to back up another portable hard drive that holds my images. My former device gave off a series of error messages - time to be replaced. The install was simple and the tranfer of data flawless.

Works Well, Sexy Colors
I tested it out for a few weeks now and here don't seem to be any issues with freezing or losing the connection like my G-drive always did. And it way cheaper.
