WD 4TB My Passport Portable Hard Drive With Password Protection - Installation and Setup

[@AnthonyGodinho]

Great review Michael! I also like WD products. I purchased one years ago and it's solid as a rock. Still going strong. Very useful to have an external backup and free up your computer hard-drive as well. It's amazing how much the prices have dropped. Like you said, your 4TB cost less than the 1TB lol :)

[@molometer]

Yep these type of hard drives have come way down in price just recently. I'm guessing that with the rise of cloud storage demand has fallen? Also SSD storage is much faster but is still very expensive. Yikes 4TB! I'm remembering my first hard drive...1 megabyte! I thought that was massive. 😂👍 Stay safe mate. 😷👍

[@AnthonyGodinho]

@@molometer Yeah, I agree. For example, I get 1TB free with my Microsoft 365 subscription which comes very handy. Yes, SSD is still quite expensive. LOL yeah, back then, 1MB sounded like a lot :)

[@JoSe-cs7ip]

How cute, 1 year ago, 4TBs was a monster. Right now I own a 16TB, and for me it is a monster. How fast things changes.

[@molometer]

Yep technology improves at a fairly predictable rate. I wonder where we'll get to next year? I've used less than a quarter of my 4tb hard drive so far which is good enough to get a few more years usage before I have to upgrade again. 👍🏼

[@JoSe-cs7ip]

@@molometer I bet 16TB will be our 16MB USB drives from our 2000s. I owned a 2TB that it took 4 years to fill up, and to transfer my data to my 16TB took 1 day, many little file sizes made the speed worst. So best is use an special tool or just always zip mini files to improve transfer speeds in the future

[@vanbilly8387]

I'm 3 years late to this party (video). I'm looking into adding more external storage to my computer, so it's time to browse and research options. I have a WD MyBook 2Tb that I bought about 10 years ago and it's still running like brand new. Never had a problem with it, but compared to these SSD's and enclosures, the MyBook HDD is huge and requires its own power source. These SSD's are night and day different from years gone by. I've always trusted WD.

A great video Michael. My videos, photos and songs are filling up my PCs fast! I might just click your link on this as it is a great price.

[@molometer]

Good day Simon, yep making videos sure does eat up the storage and it slows the PC or laptop down. This hard drive is cheap as chips at the moment. I cleaned up my laptop and moved everything to the new hard drive and now the laptop is running just like a rocket.

[@Natalie-wp4fd]

Thank you for your review! After watching your video, I decided to buy 2 of these WD 4TB My Passports at my local Costco and I'm so glad that I did! I have one for my laptop and one for my PS5 and they work very well and transfer data very fast! Many thanks! :)

[@molometer]

Hi Natalie and thank you for taking the time to leave your warm comments. I'm also impressed with the speed of these hard drives. Just brilliant 😷👍😋

[@nilsfrahm1323]

Take great care of the usb port, if it gets damaged, your drive is dead. It doesn't have a sata hdd inside, it has custom electronic board with just a usb 3 connector. So if you have important data, think about this and either have more copies or get a laptop hdd and external case with usb 3, to have same setup. This way you can put the laptop drive in a computer in case of case failure.

[@molometer]

Thanks for your comments. It's always a good idea to have multiple backup's of our data. The USB is as robust on this device as any other piece of similar technology but if it is abused and damage occurs it's also easy and cheap to fix.

[@mohit3736]

Hey there! I got 2TB version of the same HDD. Is it normal me to feel like something is moving in HDD when I flip or move the HDD? The performance is great, and health also seems good. But concerned if this internal component moving could cause any defects??

[@molometer]

@@mohit3736 It's normal to feel movement. The hard drive is mechanical and spinning very fast 7200 rpm. Don't worry about it but thanks for asking. I'm sure other people will have the same experience. 👍

[@mohit3736]

@@molometer Thanks a lot! I know it vibrates when in use because it spins, but I was just concerned about the movement when it's off. I saw some teardown videos, and it's like an internal HDD inside an external HDD case. So probably the internal HDD isn't fixed well, which would be fine as must be moving in the plastic case a bit nothing else.

[@molometer]

@@mohit3736 Thanks for clarifying your thoughts. It's possible that a screw may be loose inside the casing? It shouldn't be making any noise when it is not connected to a computer?

[@mohit3736]

@@molometer that seems to be the case, either a screw or the rubber that holds the HDD in place is loose. Not that it would affect me, as my HDD is quite stationary for the most part and I won't ever take it out of home.

Thanks for a great review, straight to the point. I've just purchased my first hard drive, the 1tb version and set it up on my laptop. I've noticed when I'm dragging the files across they are being copied and are also remaining on the laptop. Ie they are being copied instead of imported. What am I doing wrong?

[@molometer]

Hi John and thanks for your comments and question.👍 Re your question. Two options. 1. If you select/highlight and drag and drop the files. A copy will be moved to the external hard drive. (Handy for backups) 2. Select and right mouse click on the file/files you want to 'export/move' to the external drive and a menu will pop up with the option to 'move' the files to the HD. This second method will move the files without leaving copies on your computer. 😋👍 Hope that helps?

Hi Mustapha, use a mixture of upper and lower case letters, symbols and numbers (8 or more) will give you a very strong password which you can encrypt. Or you can use a strong third party password generator like Google's password system. Either way works. Hope this helps 👍

Hard drives don't like being dropped generally and having a corrupt drive is usually a software problem rather than hardware. Thanks for leaving the comments though. This wd passport drive is still working perfectly as is my much older wd passport drive. By the way all the tech that I make videos on are for my personal use. None of it is sponsored or free. Just my honest opinion on the gear I buy occasionally.

Hello Michael my wd mypassport hard disk 4 tb vibrates, is it normal...? Or hard disk is a defect one

[@molometer]

A small amount of vibration is normal and nothing to worry about. You will be able to feel it with your hand. The platter is spinning at over 7000 rpm so they do vibrate a little. Keep it on a flat surface if possible. If it is vibrating enough so that you can actually see it moving then that's a bit excessive and may be defective? Hope this helps? 😋👍

Thank you for the good review. Just got one recently. However, I've seen some (very few) reviews of people complaining that it stopped working in less than a year?

[@molometer]

Hi Tyler, correct. Copy your photos, videos documents etc to the external hard drive and confirm that they are there and working properly. If you're happy that the files have copied successfully onto the WD hard drive you can then delete them from your desktop. 👍 ***** As a extra safety precaution. Once you've copied the files to the external hard drive. Disconnect the WD hard drive from your computer and then delete the files on your computer. Sometimes people forget to unselect the external drive and delete both copies at the same time! It happens. So just take the WD drive off before deleting anything. 😋

[@molometer]

@@VahidTakro I've been very happy with my older WD 1TB drive for many years and the new 4TB is working perfectly. If a drive asks you to format it. "Don't do it". Just unplug it and try it again. If it still asks you to format it you could get disk recovery software and run that first. It will recover the data which you can move to another drive. If fact even if you have formatted a drive it is still possible to recover the data. 👍

I'd like to add you there, where I am online the most. also, there is a little different with this hard drive, and My Passport Ultra version, which is USB C, do you think if having USB C is much better than the one which My Passport has?

[@molometer]

USB C is very much faster (10x-20x) than USB 3 Gen 1 but comes with a significantly higher cost. If you are doing a lot of massive file transfers on a daily basis then the USB C makes more sense. If on the other hand you are an average user that backs up or copies just a few files occasionally then the added speed is kind of irrelevant. USB C may become more important in the future and will probably get cheaper too.👍 PS I don't use FB or Insta.
