Review on WD 5TB My Passport for Mac Portable External Hard Drive: USB-C, USB-A Compatible, Blue by Ryan Pollock
Good if you don't use WD Security
This drive attracted me in part because WD provided software to encrypt it. But the software caused many problems. It didn't turn on and off when it should (there are different settings), the support guides are confusing and vague, and at one point I found that my Time Machine backup had been completely erased from the hard drive. (I'm not sure what the security software did, but I can't figure out what else it did.) After a week, I finally completely erased the drive, disabled the security software, and it's been working fine ever since (about a month ). . Unencrypted, of course.
