If you’re paying MSRP (about $5 to $20 more), it’s a somewhat trickier decision whether to give up the 10MBps to 20MBps of sustained throughput offered by other drives.It appears our systems have detected the possible use of an automated program to visit. But it offers what most people want: fast performance with small files and copies, and a budget-friendly price-at least currently. Okay, the WD My Passport isn’t the Seagate Backup Plus Fast, or the Samsung T3, which are what you want if you need to copy a fair amount of stuff quickly and be on your way. PCWorldĬrystalDiskMark rated the WD My Passport as slower than LaCie and Seagate’s similar drives, but it’s still fast enough for most purposes-and cheaper. 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. 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. 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. WD informed us that the colors are simply to entice buyers, however. Lest you consider that remark flippant, note that some backups are rotated by days of the week, and a little color-coding never hurt anyone. That’s six in all: one for every weekday, plus another for the weekend. The My Passport also ships in a variety of hues, starting with the black of our test drive and moving on to brighter white, red, orange, blue, and yellow.
