Reviews of Western Digital My Passport 4 TB (WDBUAX0040B)

Evaluation 5
Advantages: It is difficult to add something to the reviews, but its 5 kopecks:
1. WD - it is reliable and proven over the years.
2. 4TB - for fifty full-length films in UHD enough for sure
3. Design, even though it is individual.
4. A hard cable helps to give stability to the vertical position of the screw when connected to the back of the TV set (who will understand it)
5. The read speed is consistently higher than 100mb / s (if reset to a smart device), write lower (see comment)
6. wide range of colors indisputable plus for distinguishing "memory banks" in an extensive park of drives
Disadvantages: 1. Noticeable imbalance - vibrates
2. Heats up decently with long work, which, incidentally, is probably normal, given the low thermal conductivity of plastic
Comment: With all this suits completely.
Used exclusively for UHD video content.
1300GB wrote about 4 hours - you can count the real recording speed: (~ 90.28mb / s) which is very good.
I immediately unraveled the brilliant idea of ​​the designers: a matte part with a relief - for finger grip, which leaves no imprints on the case, but a glossy part for aesthetics;)

I advise confidently, the device is worthy.

Advantages: Works.
Disadvantages: Vibration. In my view it should not be so. M., I am mistaken.
Comment: Real volume of 3.63 TB.
Included 30-35 cm USB cable.
The indicator, unobtrusive in the daytime, will interfere at night - it is turned off through the standard program.
It also sets the sleep interval, but! it also says that if there are other settings in the system, then they will act. The default is 30 minutes.
The work is audible, but quietly enough.
Small, but distinctly vibrates, the vibration is transmitted to the table and sounds, milipusky legs do not save. Put the notebook.
Quite compact, however, a centimeter more, a centimeter less - I do not see the difference.
Writing speed tries to keep 90-110 Mb / sec, with rare failures up to 30-40. 56 gigs for ten minutes.
I did not check the speed of reading, I have enough in any way.
In the simple warm, in the work a little hotter, but within the boundaries.

Is it worth my money - I can not say, because I do not follow all this; needed - chose and bought. Yes, because of the design, I walked by for a long time, until there were no other reasonable options. Although I do not look at him, but this visual division into two halves causes some distrust, as if he would break in half.

UPD: Heats up barely, stops after half an hour of inactivity, as installed in the program.

Advantages: Chic hard. In size, even slightly thinner than my twin-TB same brand.
Reliable. Beautiful, chose a blue model, pleases the eye.
Disadvantages: The only negative thing is that it does not work on Windows XP, the system simply does not see it, since XP at the kernel level is not designed for working with 4 terabyte disks.
Comment: Satisfied with the model!

Evaluation 5
Advantages: I have been using this kind of screws from WD for a very long time.I started work with 500 MB and now I’ve come down to 4 GB (in fact, it’s 3.6 GB storage). Drives are reliable. Checked over many years of work. Now I buy only WD. There was the experience of using other companies, but even in a plastic case from Hewlett-Packard, the screw from WD was inside :)
Screw sizes are quite small for 4GB, which is very convenient. Information can be poured nemeryannom. For speed, like all 2.5 inch, works slowly. But the rate of fire is not required of him, for he has other goals. You can safely store a lot of blur-films and carry with them. So I recommend to everyone.
Disadvantages: Strange body. It seems that glued from two pieces. Designers, it seems boring was :) Well, okay, the main thing for the screw is reliability of work, and not appearance.
Comment: All described in the merits. Besides being a good model, there is nothing more to write. Recommend.
