Pros and cons

According to our external hard drive HDD expert

The 5TB storage gives you plenty of space for large files, games, and backups.
Thanks to its compact size, you can easily take the HDD with you wherever you go.
Your sensitive files are better protected with password protection and data encryption.
These HDDs are slower than a 3.5-inch HDD, so you can’t transfer large or many files as quickly.

Price quality good product

4 tb is nice in terms of storage space
The box makes no noise
My passport has password
Very slow

Mypassport's 4 tb storage space is a nice addition to my mac storage (2 tb) for me. What I found very difficult was the format to mac. Really had to search the internet and in the end it worked because I was able to transfer it to Xfat. Would be easy if this was added step by step in a user manual. The design is simple but beautiful. Plastic-like. The box makes no noise. It writes everything quietly to the disk. Calm with an exclamation mark, because slow it is. 1TB transfer takes at least 2 hours. That went much faster on my previous WD passport. Finally, the box has a password function, which you can permanently enable, but you also have other options. Handy, if you want to keep things private. Price-quality is the great product, but I expected a faster box compared to a few years ago. That's definitely an area for improvement...
