WD My Passport Essential SE 1TB
Pocket hard drives are by their nature not the most design heavy of creatures. They need to be small - to fit the pocket designation - and they need to contain hard drives. We've seen a few interesting designs built around tiny lights in drives, or interesting case colours.
Pros:
- Simple backup software included
- Who couldn't use 1TB of extra storage space?
Cons:
- Design is bland
- Pricey compared to a couple of 500GB drives
