Pros and cons

According to our external hard drive HDD expert

You can use the USB flash drive with many different devices that have a USB-C port, like your smartphone or tablet.
Thanks to its compact size, you can easily take the HDD with you wherever you go.
The 5TB storage gives you plenty of space for large files, games, and backups.
These HDDs are slower than a 3.5-inch HDD, so you can’t transfer large or many files as quickly.

Reliable hard drive in somewhat poor housing.

price/mb ratio for such a HDD
Reliable hard drive
"Alu casing look" but the housing is completely made of plastic.

The weak point on this WD drive is the USB-C connection, which is not solid and where it gets slack quite quickly. That is annoying when writing or reading large files (eg HD movies). If the drive moves during the data transfer, there is a chance that the USB-C cable will slip out of the housing or move so that you can start over. I previously had the same problem with WD drives with a USB Micro-B connection. Apparently WD hasn't learned it yet.

Don't buy this product. Doesn't work as promised

Inexpensive
Quiet
Lots of strage
Doesn't work

I ordered the backup disk and was happy when it arrived a couple of days later. Had to format it for Mac as it was formatted for Windows. Had tremendous difficulty in trying to format this hard disk. I repeated the process four or five times. Then I finally got it working and it kept stopping with the time machine back up multiple times, as the USB-C was extremely sensitive. After multiple times of not being able to conclude the time machine backup, I tried to reformat it, and that did not work at all. Finally, after trying many many times with formatting, backing up, and starting again, I gave up. I looked up what was closest Cool Blue store and I brought the hard disk back. The service department there confirmed that there were many problems with this hard disk WD my passport Ultra and suggested another device. However, that device was not available now. The service person asked me if I would like a refund or an alternative device, which she suggested. That alternative device was not available in time so I took the refund and then tried to post a review. This is the third time because the other two were not posted.
