WD My Passport Pro 2TB Lightning-fast, but designed for a rather specific user

WD My Passport Pro 2TB
The My Passport Pro is pitched at users who want to store and edit multimedia using an external hard drive. As such, even though it offers extremely fast read and write speeds, but there are a few caveats to look out for. Firstly, the Pro connects via Thunderbolt (more common on Macs than PCs) and though there are other ways of formatting its two internal drives, it performs best in RAID 0 configuration that uses the HFS+J format – and will therefore only work on a Mac. The drive has a built-in fan to keep it cool if you’re working from it, though it’s a little redundant if you’re just using it to backup your PC. And unless you have multimedia work in mind, it might also be hard to justify the price.
