The hard drive is the organ that keeps all the data stored in a digital device. It is also part of one of the main elements that determines the capacity of a digital device in addition to the speed of the processor, ram, the type of screen, the graphics card … Today we want to introduce you to two reference hard drives to overcome your computer’s inability to back up if, the main hard drive becomes insufficient.

What people like
- An absolute great purchase! Small and fits in my hand and it doesn’t get in the way! I love that I can buy/download as many PS4 games as my heart desires and it’ll be a long while before the space is filled up!
- I am again impressed how technology has advanced. My old hard drive is 4 times as big and probably 8 times as heavy with half the storage… Bought for a Mac, works just fine.
- I needed more storage space as I’m a music producer and was running out of storage space on my older 1tb USB 3.0 external drive. So far this drive is working great on my mac and windows machines.
What people didn’t like
- These perform ok, until they are about half full, then they start shingling the information (SMR), and performance just goes through the floor. This is due to it reading data, so that it can write the new data, with the existing data. Basically in laymens terms, these seem great for ~3tb, once you fill it past there, write speeds go from 100+mb/s to <1-2mb/s after the buffer fills up. I copied 60gb of home videos to it once it reached 50% filled, and its now at 6 hours of copying. Worse still it causes the entire computer to hang, as it has no idea why the drive just stops responding. Avoid these smr drives, they’re junk.
RESUME
SEAGATE PORTABLE 2TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD – USB 3.0 is great because the storage capacity is good 2TB and it works as much on a PC as a Mac to allow you to back up your documents whether it’s video, graphics or files very quickly. It is also much prized by users the proof is! it’s a best seller and in addition, the operating systems that work with it are well specified Windows®10, Windows 8, Windows 9.

What people like
- WD is the first option comes in mind while looking for a storage device because of their quality and price to performance ratio with good aesthetics. Here is my extensive opinion about WD My Passport New Edition : Excellent performance, Complete software package, Class leading pricing, Elegant design with variety of colours, Software + 256 bit hardware encryption, 3 years of warranty
What people didn’t like
- The device works perfectly and can be used on xbox, ps4 pc and Mac however you will not get the full 4tb when I plugged mine in it said that I had 3.6tb available, tried formatting it and still the same, that’s 400gb that I can’t use on the device I understand that some is needed to be used by the system to make it run etc but not nearly half a terabyte.
- Arrived in unopened/undamaged packaging and there was no cosmetic damage. Drive arrived pre-formatted as NTFS and had both MAC and WINDOWS installers. I ran the included installer and then full WD diagnostics before I put the drive to work. Drive stopped working after less than 10 hours of backup use and will no longer mount (or dismount) on any of my systems (WIN7, WIN10, MACOS). WD software cannot ‘fix’ or mount the drive meaning I can no longer use it…and it now makes that annoying clicking noise reported by others. I have used WD drives, both internal and external, for 20+ years without incident or failure. This one is a disappointment and is rated accordingly.
RESUME
WD 2TB My Passport Portable External Hard Drive is 2TB in capacity and effectively performs its tasks of backing up all your document types at ultra-fast speeds. It has a USB 3.0 interface and is USB 2.0 compatible. A real golden gift.
