Hi I guys I'm in the market currently deciding on what portable hard disk should I get 2tb, 3tb or 4tb. I had wd my passport 1tb that lasted me about 5 6 years before getting dead and taking data with it.Though, I have that data but still it lasted me quite long. At that time I used to download lots of movies and games but now its different. I'm sure 1tb is not enough for me for sure. I need atleast 2tb, but need your suggestions wheater to bump it to 3tb or 4th or keep it at 2tb. The following is what I'm considering to get. WD 2TB Black My Passport  Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBYFT0020BBK-WESN https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LQQHF2W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ym.kybDC4WP5W

The Passports are really good and reliable as you have seen. Personally I think the 4TB model is the best as it's only 30 dollars more to get 2 more terabytes. 

 

However if you want to save a little money, the capacity is really up to you.

I agree that the WD Passport line is excellent. The 4 TB is the best value, but if you don't need 4 TB then don't buy 4 TB. :D

Yes, it's 2871 as in the year 2871. I traveled all this way, back in time, just to help you. And you thought your mama lied when she said you were special. -_-
