Still, CrystalDiskMark shows a clear drop-off from Seagate’s products (the company owns LaCie) when it comes to sequential throughput. The WD My Passport is faster than its Seagate and LaCie rivals with lots of smaller files and folders, but not in sustained throughput. But it’s also better than average at writing large batches of smaller files and folders, as you can see in the chart below. We started off the review with a mild warning about the My Passport 4TB’s tepid performance with large files, and indeed it falls about 10MBps short of average. This is a very nice software bundle considering that the My Passport is essentially the company’s entry-level USB drive. For example, you may want one section for your documents. Or want to get a larger drive that you can split up into sections. The drives with larger storage space are mega useful when you’ve lots of photos to store. WD does provide backup software a drive utility that will check the status and secure-erase the drive as well as encryption software for dealing with sensitive data. Storage Capacity Of The WD My Passport For Mac You’ll find the Western Digital My Passport for Mac comes in 2TB, 4TB and 5TB sizes. WD doesn’t provide anything fancy like LaCie’s dual FAT/NTFS or HFS+ partitioning utility, but you can use the Windows or OS X (or Linux) system utilities for that. After the color-coding response, we didn’t ask whether tactile grip was the reason, but it does have that effect. The waves also provide a better grip on the smooth, glossy plastic. WD has added even more consumer bait by beveling a stylish wavy texture into the half of the drive that’s home to the powered micro-B USB port and power indicator. The wavy bevels also make for a better grip.
The WD My Passport offers more flair than you might expect from a mainstream portable USB drive.
