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?

    The Desktop Variant. They use 3.5" drives and are normally white label drives and last me a long time. Ive had several portable 2.5" drives fail in less than 3 years, but not any 3.5" drives.
