The drive's 4KB performance is nothing to be surprised about, with all portable hard drives on the market achieving similar speeds, such as the Toshiba Canvio Connect II 3TB and Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Slim 2TB.
Sequential read/write speeds hit 114.3/114.1MB/s respectively, with its 4KB benchmark only achieving 0.5/1.4MB/s. We found the WD drive to perform well versus other hard drives in the market. WD My Passport 4TB (2016) review: Performanceīeing a hard drive, it enheritently won't perform as fast or as quietly as an SSD portable drive. The drive is connected through a USB 3.0 interface, works on Mac and comes with a two-year warranty. There is also the option to put the drive to sleep and a way of erasing it securely. You can test your drive for errors and even prevent drive failures from occuring. WD Utilities has a lot more options, where we were impressed by the diagnosis tools provided by Western Digital. Its interface is really easy on the eye and will appeal to a lot of users. WD Backup is easy-to-use, and allows you to backup your files to your drive or to a selected cloud service, such as Dropbox or Baidu. Included with the drive is WD Backup and WD Drive utilities.
Everything you store to the drive is encrypted and makes it harder for those wanting to steal your data. The WD My Passport Ultra has 256-bit AES encryption, which is a huge plus for those concerned about security. It also is a slightly chunky drive with a 130g weight to it - nevertheless, we still consider it portable. This does mean it attracts fingerprints and smudges easily.

The drive has a full plastic enclosure, where some colour variants, such as the one we received in white has a glossy finish to it. WD My Passport 4TB (2016) review: Features and design In comparison to its competitors it is very well priced at 4p per GB. The WD drive can be found on Amazon for around £50 and in the US for $53.99 on Amazon. It is designed with a gradient colour, with the textured part of the drive offering a more stylish look - however with its sharp edges, we do feel it is a little 1980s. The new generation drive has a distincly different look from previous models. We found the drive a little chunky in-hand, with it coming in at a resonably heavy weight (yet to be disclosed by WD). It's found in six colours: Blue Black, Classic Black, Red, Orange, Yellow and White. The drive comes in 1-, 2-, 3- and 4TB options. You will still be able to find the Ultra on Amazon for around £50 and in the US for $53.99 on Amazon.

Note: This review was originally based on the WD My Passport Ultra 1TB, but given that the internal hardware of both the My Passpor Ultra and the 2016 My Passport are identical, we have chosen to update this review. Western Digital has updated their WD My Passport range with a new revision, in this case the eight generation drive is a portable hard drive that offers both cloud storage and hardware encryption.
