Mypassport's 4 tb storage space is a nice addition to my mac storage (2 tb) for me.
What I found very difficult was the format to mac. Really had to search the internet and in the end it worked because I was able to transfer it to Xfat. Would be easy if this was added step by step in a user manual.
The design is simple but beautiful. Plastic-like.
The box makes no noise. It writes everything quietly to the disk. Calm with an exclamation mark, because slow it is. 1TB transfer takes at least 2 hours. That went much faster on my previous WD passport.
Finally, the box has a password function, which you can permanently enable, but you also have other options. Handy, if you want to keep things private.
Price-quality is the great product, but I expected a faster box compared to a few years ago. That's definitely an area for improvement...
