- Storage Drive Type: HDD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)

Q: What is the difference between the passport and the regular external hard drive?
A: It's unclear what you mean when you say "regular" external hard drive. I'm going to assume you mean the WD Easystore 5TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive, since it is so similar to the My Passport series. Other than slight differences in the physical dimensions of the drive, the major difference between them is that the My Passport 5TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive offers 256-bit AES Data Encryption and password protection with included WD Security software. The Easystore model does not.
