– SES driver, if not installed, your system tray/notification area will always have a annoying pop-up saying "Device driver was not successfully installed"

– With USB 3.0 HDD speed is no longer bottlenecked by bus speed

– Being a portable drive there is no rubber bumper to protect the drive from accidental drops

10 out of 10 - I now have 3 for all my storage and back up needs. Sooooo simple to use - they are idiot proof and do everything for you I have one for Apple Macbook Air and working with TimeMachine and another on a Windows 7 machine - both work out of the box perfect Highly recommended Nice colours...

There is lots of space to backup a pc hard drive at least for the time being. Tomorrows advancing apps and media may require more, but for the time being 1TB should be more than enough for todays PC, or at least for mine.

I have long awaited a hard drive to purchase that is sleek, affordable and an excellent product. It was easy to find directions online (they provide the link to their product manual in the packaging). My passport is reliable and most importantly, helped free up much needed space on my computer.

This product is very well built I have probably a dozen of these drives and they have never caused me any problems. Always look for this drive when I go to get more drives to use.

Compact; Easy To Set Up; Fast; Highly Compatible

Replaced an older WD My Book external hard drive, which required an AC adapter and was noticably louder with its churning sound. This new unit is the size of a deck of cards and it's silent. Runs off the USB port so no AC plug is necessary.

Compact; Quiet Usb Operation; Ready To Go

NONE

Between built-in Wi-Fi and SSD caches, external hard drives are gaining in complexity every day. But sometimes, all you need is some extra space for all your files. That's where the Western Digital My Passport Ultra comes in.

Fast transfer speeds; Attractive design available in multiple colors; Very portable; Useful software

Other portable drives are cheaper

I just recently purchased this so the proof is still being vetted (I have not had to rely on it yet to recover data for a crashed main drive - time will tell, although preliminary checks show it is working).

Automatic backup - Don't have to think about it

Install instructions not clear

I bought this to replace an old external hard-drive that I had with my old Sony laptop that didn't work with my Macbook Pro. I have to say I am very pleased! Just plug in and go! It's very easy to use and the small size makes it easy to carry when travelling.

Store all your favorite videos, music, photos, and important files. Still sleek and compact, you can load it up and take it with you anywhere.
