My Passport 6TB

I had issue with not picking up some channels, ABC and CBS with the white-flat antenna that came with the tablotv gen-4. I switched to a rabbit ear antenna, which was able to pick up ABC and CBS but it was inconsistent. I swapped the rabbit year with an outdoor antenna which I hang indoors on a wind

I meant manufacturer warranty from Western Digital. I've claimed warranty for WD My Passport multiple times. Unfortunately this external HDD sucks. 2025 and there are still people buying too cheap to be true tech stuff from unknown sellers. OP is even more special because it took half a year to figu

Yes, but they're awfully annoying to obtain in a useful interface. WD uses them in their My Passport series, but those drives have the USB interface soldered to the PCB.

My Passport Ultra for Mac is exactly the same as the regular My Passport Ultra. It's just formatted for MacOS (HFS+ or APFS

You haven't mentioned which macOS your MBP is running. If you're running Tahoe, did you have this problem with the My Passport when running Sequoia? OS aside, I've read things over the years that suggest the My Passports from WD are inconsistent in quality. The problems seem to be more in the higher

I don't bother with any HDDs smaller than 16TB. Except possibly very old drives for extra cold storage disconnected and half forgotten. The reson is that <= 8TB often is SMR and because drive bays are expensive. Yes. There is a lot of progress. Drives getting bigger. Different encoding and so on. Ye
