Thanks to an enormous capacity in a still just handleable bus-powered package drive chassis, the WD My Passport Pro could prove invaluable for carrying huge volumes of data on the road. At £350 for the 4 TB version it is not pocket-change cheap but nevert...
Abstract: The key word here, I'd argue, is Thunderbolt. The 4TB version of the My Passport Pro offers transfer speeds of up to 230MB/s; the 2TB version, which Western Digital provided to us for review, does even better at 233MB/s. If you've got a Thunderbolt Mac, y...

Great striped drive performance, Good capacity/performance balance, Easy, to, use tools, Really nicely made
Loud fan whirr, Thunderbolt, only, No SSD option at all
The My Passport Pro is smart, fast and very desirable for portable working. It's the fastest possible storage, but it's still pro-level, and offers true portability with terabytes of storage for under £250. Not a bad deal at all....

Large capacity, Tethered Thunderbolt cable with adequate length, Bus powered RAID solution
Fan is infrequent but noisy, Big and bulky
Hand it to Western Digital for trying new things. It's cool that there's a portable software RAID solution available, and bus-powered storage options with 4TB capacities are few and far between. Western Digital also offers a 2TB version of the My Passpor...
Real Thunderbolt transfer speeds of up to 233 MBps, Integrated Thunderbolt cable means one less thing to buy, RAID 0, RAID 1 or JBOD configuration, Relatively small foot print for storage of this size
Integrated Thunderbolt cable, could be a point of failure (not user replaceable), Weight is on the hefty side for a portable, No extra Thunderbolt port on device for daisy chaining
The WD My Passport Pro 4TB Thunderbolt drive does what it says it will do, and it does it without sacrificing the read and write performance. The ~200MBps read and write speeds will keep you editing high-definition videos without having to worry about run...
