What type of data connection does it have installed in the drive? female "usb-c" or female "micro-b super speed"? or is it another type?

The drive has a USB Micro-B port. It comes with two cables, USB-A to USB Micro-B and USB-C to USB Micro-B. So it will work with your computer if it has either a type-A or type-C USB port (Thunderbolt-3 on a Mac also uses a type-C port and you can plug this drive into one of those ports, too). The drive is a 5400rpm spinning platter drive and the enclosure runs at USB 3.0 speeds (also known as USB 3.1 gen1). The drive itself is way slower than the interface, there’s no reason to use a USB 3.1 gen2 interface or Thunderbolt with a spinning platter drive.

Is this compatible with ps4

PS5- Yes you can also follow the same steps to format for PS5. It works I did it on mine! A: How to format for PS4: Head to Settings > Devices > USB Storage Devices and select your external hard drive. Select Format as Extended Storage and tap X. Select Next and tap X. Select Format and tap X. Select Yes and tap X. Select Okay and tap X. It showed up on mine as : PS4 external hard drive.

How is this model different than the one called wd 2tb black my passport portable external hard drive - usb 3.0 - wdbs4b0020bbk-wesn ?

3 differences: 1. The size of the casing for this drive is smaller. 2. It does not have rubber stomps on the bottom to keep it from sliding. 3. The operation light is smaller. Other than that, it's the same: USB3 and NTSF.

Is there really any difference between this mac passport & their other passport drives other than being pre-formatted? or is it a gimmick?

I have been buying the preformatted for Mac WD Passport drives for several years, but the the last time they were unavailable at a reasonable price so I bought two more of the design that looked like the black casing was two separate pieces joined together, and I had no problem formatting it on my MacBook Pro in a few seconds.

容量を気にせずバックアップ出来るのが便利。動画とかをたくさん撮るわけではないので。パソコンは何台も有るので、無線LANでバックアップしても良いが、スピードがそれ程出ない。電源不要なので、気軽に持っていって即セーブ出来るのが良い。耐久性は不明。たが、ＷＤのポータブルをいくつか使ってきたが使用頻度も少ないので壊れた経験は今の所ない。時間はかかるが、まだ容量単価は、HDDが上の様なので使い続けるだろう。

HDDは5年以内に買い替えるので、この機種も6台目くらいです。今まで、5年以内で壊れたことはなかったのですが、6台中1台のみ3年で SMARTチェックにエラーが出て壊れてしまう前に買い替えました。突然壊れたと慌てる前に、定期的に SMARTチェックをして、危険な兆候が出ているのであれば即買い替えするのがおすすめです。HDD は HDD が大事なのではなく、HDD に入っているデータが大事なわけですから。

耐久性なさすぎ。1〜3ヶ月のバックアップ作業でアクセスが極端に遅くなりました。
