That being said, that's about the only drawback to the device as it works great for everything else. While it makes for great portability if you're playing the same titles on your laptop, it doesn't work if you're trying to play the same games on someone else's account. I will say that unless you have ubiquitous gaming, this is probably best used for storage alone when it comes to Steam titles. All of it was easily accessible and playable, still with the same but of a pause before the media kicked in, but nothing terrible. Since we've got 4TB to play with, I also loaded up some movies I have download codes for, my music files, pictures, and a few other random tidbits. The Epic Games and Blizzard software worked excellently. Everything played well without interruption, even when we threw client-based games like Fortnite or Overwatch on there. Granted, there is a slight delay on startup since you're working with an external drive instead of something built-in or even an SSD, be we never ran into an issue during a game. As far as playing games off of it, it works like a charm. The entire transfer was smooth and took little effort. No file degradation, no lost saves, no "Oh, we can't find that" kind of messages. I experimented by transferring all of my Steam games to the drive and it worked wonders. It's basically what you would expect from WD, only smaller and sleeker and a ton of space to play with. The drive comes with its own software if you'd like to use it, along with a security system in place and a backup system it can use for your PC. The device runs off of the power generated from your tower or laptop, whatever you happen to plug it into, so be cautious as to whether or not it can handle the strain of having a storage device using battery power to the side.
The device is easy to link up to whatever system you're using, as I plugged it into my personal computer and gaming tower using the 3.0 USB connector.
#WD PASSPORT FOR MAC DROPPED PORTABLE#
Much like the PS4 version, this one is specifically designed to be a portable system for anyone who needs 4TB of memory.
