If you don't need speed but want nice capacity then this is a great buy. I have several that I store video on and even after years they all work well. I also have a 16GB Passport for Plex and after a year and 12GB+ on 24/7 it's still going strong as well.

I bought it for my Tablo 4th.
It doesn't need speed to record OTA programing, but I need the capacity for sure.
I wonder if these Passport HDD are higher quality than theirWD Elements drives since this one has 3 year warranty vs 2.

Is this shuckable? Does anyone know the dimensions of the drive inside? I've read that WD 2.5'' drives are physically larger than normal 2.5'' drives--anyone know?

Chances are it's not. I've seen similar models(same case design but black) taken apart. The drive itself has a micro b connector in place of the SATA.

Keep in mind, these drives are SMR.

It is not shuckable. As I understand it, all the modern WD external 2.5" drives are USB, not SATA drives with a USB bridge. Seagate might be another story.

What are you calling a "normal" 2.5" drive? There are multiple standards, with 9.5mm and 7.5mm being the most common. In any case, 2.5" drives of this capacity are always taller.

FYI as a cheaper option Western Digital has an eBay store in which they are selling a bunch of refurbished HDD. When combined with the 20% off ebay coupon (NEWYEAR20) , you can get a Passport 4TB HDD for $70, like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/29613504...media=COPY.

My problem with these drives that I dropped two of them while they are still spinning. Instant caput.
Prefer smaller size solid state drives now

When did the drop happen? Never noticed. This is the best price I have seen.

Why are you even carrying these around while they're powered up, platter spinning and head/arm engaged?!?

Can these work as life sync drivers?
