Is there a list anywhere of external 2.5 inch USB hard drives that can definitely be used, unpowered, with later-model Raspberry Pis (e.g. 3B+; 4)? It's weirdly hard to find a definite answer to whether a given model will work - all I ever see is guesswork and speculation.

To start off, I've been using the 2Tb version of this for ages with my 3B+ with no difficulties.

This guy claims that the WD My Passport Ultra 4 TB Portable Hard Drive is similarly tested-working.

I'm wondering specifically about the WD 5TB My Passport Portable Hard Drive - has anyone tried it with a recent Pi? I won't be using any other USB devices with it.

I took the SD card (with Raspbian Buster) out of my RPi3B+ and put it into my new RPi4 and it Just Worked(TM), except that I had to do the Change WLAN Country thing in raspi-config again in order to get the built-in wifi to work.
