I purchased a 2T WD My Passport (WDBS4B0020BBK) a couple years ago. I was happy with it and thought I was buying another of the same. It looks very similar but it is thicker and heavier.

I definitely would have preferred lighter and thinner - and the newer one was more expensive - but I would just like to know why they are different.

The older one says WDBS4B0020BBK-OB

The newer one says WDBS4B0020BBK-JA

Does anyone know why?

TIA!
