## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a Mac desktop and a pc laptop and want to use it regularly with both. Will that work out of the box?**
A: Mac OSX 10.11  & 10.12 - Just open Disk Utility and erase the disk to GUID Mac OS Extended Journaled.  If you're using 10.10 or earlier first Partition the disk to GUID and then erase as Mac OS Extended Journaled.  NTFS lets Windows users work with large files, since GUID has no file size limitations and is native to Mac, Mac users don't really benefit by using NTFS.

**Q: Will it work with Xbox**
A: It's a plug and play to an Xbox one X. It will ask you on the screen for a quick format and then its ready to use. 30 seconds tops. No need to buy an WD passport X. 4 TB is more than enough for your games. I have about 30 games and it is only at 32%.

**Q: can you disassemble it for an internal hdd?**
A: a normal 1tb HDD is way cheaper than this.... and you void warranty. buy a normal 1tb HDD.

**Q: My current computer does not have 3.0 usb, only 2.0 usb. will this external hard drive and it's cable still work on my computer for backup?**
A: The USB 2.0 ports of your computer may not be able to supply enough power for this drive. In this case you need a USB 3.0 Dual Power Y Cable that can use power from two USB 2.0 ports of your computer to supply this disk.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Little Gem!
*by R***X on June 26, 2017*

I have two Samsung 850 Evo 500GB SSD's and I was looking to backup my important information to an external hard drive in the 4TB-5TB range. I spent a long time debating if I should get the WD 4TB Black USB 3.0 My Passport External Hard Drive (WDBYFT0040BBK-WESN) or the Seagate Expansion 5TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STEB5000100). I looked at all the Seagate reviews stating the hard drive failing, so I decided to stick with Western Digital. I've owned many Western Digital hard drives over the years and they have always performed quite nicely.PROS:Very small and compact!Fast with decent speedsI love the black sleek case on one half with the other half featuring a rugged designEven the little white LED is pleasant to the eyesWorks great on Windows 10 and Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon!ConsNo cons really. The cable is a little short. I also noticed on Amazon the prices for the WD 4TB Black USB 3.0 My Passport Portable External Hard Drive (WDBYFT0040BBK-WESN) are quite sporadic in nature. I purchased this drive at a price point of $113 and after a few hours I saw the price drop to $111. The following day the price fluctuates all the way to $119 for the black version and then drops down to $116. It's not much of a difference in price, but I found it quite odd to have prices fluctuate like you are buying stocks on the stock market.Other Thoughts:I'm very glad I went with Western Digital. I've always had great experiences with Western Digital products. If you are on the fence about which external hard drive to buy, I would highly recommend this drive. The performance is solid and so far I have not had any issues on Windows 10 and Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon. Buy this WD 4TB Black USB 3.0 My Passport External Hard Drive (WDBYFT0040BBK-WESN) and you won't regret it!Update: Still working!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works PERFECT with my Xbox One X (4TB Passport review).
*by S***A on December 20, 2018*

Even at 1 TB, the Xbox One can really eat up the storage space in no time. If you're like me, you like the convenience of having as many games as possible pre-loaded into the unit so there is minimal wait time to play. However, even at 1 TB, it seems this is a bare minimum for such a convenience.As my Xbox One X approached the 90% storage capacity (filled) mark, I knew I was going to need more space. So, I purchased the 4TB Passport drive in order to have more space available without having to uninstall any of the games that I currently play.Setup was a breeze. Just turn off the Xbox One. Plug in the WD Passport Drive into any of the USB ports (I chose one in the back), turn on the Xbox, and presto...you're taken to the additional storage setup screen. Format the drive to use with your Xbox, and in mere seconds, you're ready to use it. From this point, the Xbox will default to the new drive to save the data.Seek times are fast, and appear to be even a bit faster than the internal storage drive on the Xbox. Unit is lightweight with 4 corner small rubber feet, and sits comfortably atop the Xbox unit. Really, you could place it anywhere. I chose the BLACK WD unit to match my Xbox.PROS:Easy and flawless setup for Xbox One.Fast seek/write times.Sleek design and lightweight.CONS:Activity light is on the panel as the USB port. Would be nice if it was on the opposite side so you could see the activity without having to see the cord as well.Would highly recommend for increasing storage capacity with Xbox One!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best backup drive ever
*by N***N on October 26, 2017*

I purchased this hard drive to act as an ongoing, no need to fuss or touch, back up plan. The size is excellent, loads of storage but a very compact space. The software is excellent as well, you'll end up installing at least two apps - WD Discovery and WD Backup. Discovery keeps the hard drive on the system, backup is the goods.Using WD Backup, I was able to select which folders and drives I'd like backed up as well as a schedule, being able to select the date and time. You can have several Backup plans at the same time - backing up everything at once or single drives at a time. For me, scheduling a backup everyday at the same time was super easy. Best part is once the back up is completed the drive goes in to standby mode reducing the power drain (you can also change that in settings).Coming from DMailer Back up - WD Backup is a huge improvement. I don't have to worry about when the last time I backed up anything was - just plug in once and ignore.Great drive, even better software - highly recommended.
