I don’t own any computers with this connection yet, but fortunately they include an adapter to a standard USB 3.0 connection. Overall Review: As mentioned in the description, this hard drive comes with a USB-C cable. It isn’t obnoxious, it’s just easily the thickest 2.5” external hard drive that I’ve owned. I am quite pleased with the performance.Īll in all, the important things that I would look for in an external hard drive are more than satisfied here, I would recommend this drive to others.Ĭons: This hard drive is a bit thicker than you might be used to for external hard drives. All in all I think this is absolutely astonishing for an external hard drive. I ran some performance tests on it, and got back an average read rate of around 270MB/s and an average write rate of around 94MB/s, with 1000 100MB samples.

It’s able to be powered from just the USB connection without any external power required, which is nice and not guaranteed with a hard drive of this capacity. Pros: This is a nice external hard drive, and fulfils all of my expectations. Make sure there is always more than one copy of all irreplaceable data. This is a lot of data you can lose if the drive is damaged, lost or stolen. Western Digital is a long standing name in storage and has never let me down. Overall Review: I would certainly recommend this drive. Unfortunately, I don't recall what the usable formatted space was before I changed the partitions. The usable space will be less than this once you format the drive. The actual size of the drive before formatting with a partition is 3725.99GB.

The Type C connector is USB 3.1 without the usual two flips of the connector before it finally goes in.Ĭons: Not much to complain about. Drive also comes with an adapter if you don't have the USB type C connector. There is a white status LED, it is a little bright, but not blinding. To use solely for windows, you can format the drive as NTFS in windows from the Disk Management utility.

There is also a procedure for getting a mac to mount a drive as read/write for NTFS, but by default OSX only mounts NTFS partitions as read only.

If you want to use this drive with both a mac and a pc, you will either need to install an HFS+ driver for windows or try your luck with exFAT (might be buggy for external drives, read up on it before you do it). Windows will not recognize this drive out of the box. Between the weight of the drive and the rubber feet, I don't think it will be an issue getting pulled off the table. It is also a little heavier than other drives I have had which is good because it doesn't slide around if you adjust your macbook. It is a little thicker than other drives I have had (~0.8"), but there is 4TB of storage so it is to be expected. Pros: Lots of storage for a not bad price.
