Also, know this isn’t the question but FWIW, I’m using it with my Mac PowerBook as a "Time machine" back up, but I had to format it with the disk utility first. **Q: Could i use a wd usb-c cable with this?** A: It appears the My Passport and the My Passport Ultra take you to the same Questions and Reviews. Amazon seem to do this a lot and need to fix it. The Ultra supports USB-C (and seems to be more expensive). Check before you click to buy. One last thing, it's not worth paying more for the Mac versions, though you may need to reformat. **Q: I've a pc and a mac...can i format it in 2 partitions ? one mac formatted and another windows pc formatted ?** A: This should be possible, though if you want to use the drive with both mac and windows devices you would be better off formatting the partition in exFAT format, which allows both OSX and Windows read and write access. Of course, this is best done when the drive is new and has no data on it, otherwise you would lose data stored on the device! **Q: Just took delivery of this for my mac running catalina.. can't import my files(images) from icloud because it keeps asking for social media** A: It will auto back up all your files on your Mac if you connect to Time Machine, are your files in iCloud different from those on your Mac? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by D***Y on 16 June 2026* Excellent and very useful. Highly recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good price and quality *by A***X on 24 June 2026* good quality hard drive ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A new lease of life for my PS4 *by M***B on 26 August 2025* I bought this WD My Passport drive specifically to use as an external storage device for my PlayStation 4, and it works great for that. As anyone with a PS4 knows, the internal hard drive fills up way too fast with all the massive game installs and updates. This little drive is a lifesaver. Setting it up was a breeze. You just plug the USB cable into the PS4, and the console imediately recognises it as an external storage device. The PS4 guides you through the process of formatting it for use with the console, which takes just a few seconds. After that, you can set it as the default location for all your new game downloads, or you can manually move games from your internal hard drive to this external one. The transfer speeds are really fast, so you can move a big game like Call of Duty in a reasonable amount of time. I have the 5TB version, which is a massive amount of storage. To put that in perspective, the average PS4 game is around 40-50GB, so this drive can hold around 100 of them. It's way more space than I'll ever need, so I don't have to worry about deleting games anymore. One thing to keep in mind is that this is a traditional hard disk drive (HDD), not a solid-state drive (SSD). This means that while it's much cheaper per gigabyte than an SSD, it's also a little slower. I haven't noticed any major preformance issues with games I've installed on it, but the loading times might be a tiny bit longer than if they were on the internal SSD of the newer consoles. But for the PS4, which also has an HDD, the difference is pretty minimal. The drive runs off the USB power from the console, so you don't need an extra power cable which is a big plus for keeping your entertainment centre tidy. Overall, it's a fantastic, reliable solution for anyone who needs to expand their PS4's storage without spending a fortune. It does exactly what it's supposed to do and has plenty of space for my whole game library. ## Frequently Bought Together - WD 5TB My Passport, Portable External Hard Drive, Black, backup software with defense against ransomware, and password protection, USB 3.1/USB 3.0 compatible - WDBPKJ0050BBK-WESN - Lacdo Hard Drive Carrying Case for Western Digital WD Elements/WD My Passport/My Passport Ultra Portable External Hard Drive HDD 1TB 2TB 4TB 5TB 6TB USB 3.0 Protective Storage Travel Bag, Black - UGREEN 10 Gbps Micro B to USB C Hard Drive Cables, 1.5FT USB C to Micro B, External Hard Drive Cable Compatible with MacBook Pro/Air, iPad/Tablet, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S24, WD Seagate etc --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/161326089-wd-5tb-my-passport-portable-external-storage-external-hard-drive](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/161326089-wd-5tb-my-passport-portable-external-storage-external-hard-drive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-31*
