Review on WD 2TB My Passport Ultra Blue Portable External Hard Drive, USB-C and USB 3.1 Compatible - WDBC3C0020BBL-WESN by Stefan Eddy

Warning for New Customers

I received the WD Passport Ultra (4TB) today and was having a problem with not mounting the device in windows so I went to the command line and tried using the assign command to no avail. So I went to Disk Management and found that the drive wasn't formatted to NTFS as the description said, so I formatted the drive and accidentally formatted my old dying hard drive that I had to move my files off of. I recovered all my files with Filezilla and Recuva and spent a lot of time on it. I've expected more from Western Digital as a customer since 2008 and expect to have a plug and play experience upon opening the box. The drive itself feels good in the hand and is very quiet. Drive speed is decent but not overwhelming like an external SSD. The story I just told is a good lesson that you need to be careful what you format (WD needs better quality control too).

Pros
  • Special Offer
Cons
  • Long Term
