Western Digital My Passport 4TB Hard Drive Deal: $110 for Amazon Prime Members

Data storage is only getting smaller and cheaper per gigabyte as hard drive technology rapidly improves. A myriad of storage options are available on the market today, from tiny MicroSD cards to large external drives, yet even full-size external HDDs are getting slimmer and more travel-friendly. One popular and highly rated model is the

Western Digital My Passport hard drive

, which offers up to four terabytes of storage in a compact, colorful, and feature-laden package.

Western Digital is one of the leading manufacturers of storage devices, and the My Passport lives up to the company’s reputation for affordable quality. The attractive housing comes in a variety of colors and measures 4.33 inches long, 3.21 inches wide, and less than an inch thick, allowing it to easily slip into your bag or even your pocket.

This cable utilizes a high-speed USB 3.0 interface and is compatible with older USB 2.0 devices as well.
