Review on πŸ’½ High-Capacity WD 5TB My Passport Ultra for Mac Silver Portable External Hard Drive with USB-C and USB 3.1 Compatibility by Bhavin Seth ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good product, more pros than cons.

As for the scratches, I had to attach silicone legs so that the disc simply does not roll on the surface and does not scratch at the same time. The disk is constantly used as a second drive for a laptop, so it withstands the test of constant operation. After two falls from a height of about half a meter, a check was made through the Victoria HDD: not a single bad block, only a few blocks the speed dropped, but this did not affect the overall performance at all.

Pros
  • Compactness, speed (reading and writing - 80-110 Mb / s with sufficient memory (1 TB)), mechanical resistance to various vibrations (up to falls from a small height during operation), no blinding and brightly burning LED, design , the ability to manage the drive through the WD Discovery utility (including assigning a password to the drive). Quiet by itself, even during operation, but gets a little warm (without fanaticism, so not a minus)
Cons
  • Plastic is generally unable to resist scratches: after a month of intensive use (including constant travel in a backpack), everything is covered with scratches and even chips. In a word, if you keep its presentation, then only in a box Also of the minuses - there is no indication on the LED what type of USB is used during operation (as, for example, on Toshiba).

The first time I encountered a frank marriage of a disk of this company.

the disk can be used, but the store can cancel the order without explanation, without apologies .

Almost never used as it broke from a small fall. Ill buy myself something "shockproof", since these are so flimsy.

Cord about 40 cm long included. USB connector type: A, normal. It works quietly (only audible in complete silence).

Look for a passport (slightly smaller and more advanced) or go directly to external ssds. Miser pays twice.
