With a sleek new design that fits in the palm of your hand, there's plenty of room to store, organize and share all your photos, videos, music and documents. Perfectly paired with WD Backup software and password protection, the My Passport drive helps protect the contents of your digital life. The total capacity available on a 5TB drive is 4.6TB. The storage industry as a whole measures capacity in decimals. Windows based computers measure based on the binary, that's why the drive shows as a smaller capacity Review: Good HDD - Good storage not that great for games as speed is not that fast as a HDD. Has been reliable over the past few years. Review: Works both in Windows and Mac - I want to archive old files for access both from Windows PC and Mac. This hard drive arrived formatted as (Windows) NTFS, which is fine for Windows to read and write but Mac can only read but not write. Re-formatting to exFat allows both Windows and Mac to both read and write. I like the colour, easy to spot when lying around. Not long had this but so far it's working OK. ## Features - Every journey needs a passport.

It comes with two cables, USB-A to USB Micro-B and USB-C to USB Micro-B. So it will work with your computer if it has either a type-A or type-C USB port (Thunderbolt-3 on a Mac also uses a type-C port and you can plug this drive into one of those ports, too). The drive is a 5400rpm spinning platter drive and the enclosure runs at USB 3.0 speeds (also known as USB 3.1 gen1). The drive itself is way slower than the interface, there’s no reason to use a USB 3.1 gen2 interface or Thunderbolt with a spinning platter drive. **Q: Is this compatible with ps4** A: PS5- Yes you can also follow the same steps to format for PS5. It works I did it on mine! A: How to format for PS4: Head to Settings > Devices > USB Storage Devices and select your external hard drive. Select Format as Extended Storage and tap X. Select Next and tap X. Select Format and tap X. Select Yes and tap X. Select Okay and tap X. It showed up on mine as : PS4 external hard drive. **Q: How is this model different than the one called wd 2tb black my passport portable external hard drive - usb 3.0 - wdbs4b0020bbk-wesn ?** A: 3 differences: 1. The size of the casing for this drive is smaller. 2. It does not have rubber stomps on the bottom to keep it from sliding. 3. The operation light is smaller. Other than that, it's the same: USB3 and NTSF. **Q: Is there really any difference between this mac passport & their other passport drives other than being pre-formatted? or is it a gimmick?** A: I have been buying the preformatted for Mac WD Passport drives for several years, but the the last time they were unavailable at a reasonable price so I bought two more of the design that looked like the black casing was two separate pieces joined together, and I had no problem formatting it on my MacBook Pro in a few seconds. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good HDD *by K***K on 24 July 2025* Good storage not that great for games as speed is not that fast as a HDD.
