I am debating between those Western Digital portable drives that go up to 5tb that function with USB only (WD my passport) and the bigger ones (eg my book) that are bigger and need power outlet besides the USB connection.
Is there any difference in quality or durability to store media?
When in doubt, avoid western digital. They’ve been known to lie about their shit. Seagates been honest the entire time, and people never forgave them for a firmware bug years ago seagate announced and released a fix for.
Seagates not perfect but WD are assholes. Buy the seagate.
