WD My Passport NEW 2.5" WDBYFT0040BBK 4 TB

Appearance that stands out from the crowd

The first thing that attracts attention in WD My Passport NEW is its non-trivial appearance by the standards of external HDDs. Its top cover is actually divided into two halves, one of which is smooth and glossy, while the second has a corrugated surface. Adding colour is the presence of six colour options, including strict black, blue, yellow, orange and extravagant bright red. Definitely, this is a gadget that you want to put in the most prominent place on the table.

Rubberized feet reduce vibration

But the ergonomics are not so well thought out. On the one hand, small rubber feet are glued to the bottom of the device, which dampen the vibration of the hard drive during operation and prevent the device from slipping to the floor. On the other hand, the drive comes with a very short cord of 30 cm. For laptop owners, this is a plus, since there will be fewer wires on the table, but computer owners will either have to crawl under the table or use a USB hub.

Dimensionless archive

When you connect for the first time, you will find several useful programs for creating a system backup, encrypting data, and monitoring the status of the drive. As for the disk itself, its 4 TB storage will be enough for your eyes to store your media library, to back up data from your work computer, store your game archive, and there will still be enough left to fill in all the archive photos and videos from your vacation. The speed indicators are as follows: when reading, the maximum is 104 Mb / s, when writing 103 Mb / s. On average, the speed is kept at 95 Mb / s. This is the standard speed for this class of devices.
