What's striking about Western Digital's <a href="http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=1240" target="_blank">My Passport Pro[/url] portable hard drive is its size and weight. The 4TB version I tested weighs 1.58 pounds, which is light when compared to your average five-pound clay brick. The weight is due in part to the My Passport Pro's pair of 2.5-inch 5400-rpm drives, preconfigured in a RAID 0 for the greatest capacity and speed. You can, of course, use Disk Utility to configure the drive as a RAID 0, 1, or as independent disks.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2366989/western-digital-my-passport-pro-review-a-hefty-portable-raid.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
