WD My Passport 2TB Review

At 2TB, WD's My Passport is the largest-capacity USB hard drive we've ever tested, and its four chunky 500GB platters rotate at 5,400rpm. In the palm it feels about as thick as a huge English muffin with a piece of ham in the middle, or a water-logged deck of cards; it's the thickest drive in this...
Pros:
  • Huge capacity
  • great speed
  • full-featured software package
Cons:
  • Backup software is not reliable or good for advanced users
  • can't make backup images

AC/DC Mm maybe not BUT

With the disk partitioned into 2 zones, one for Mac and one for windows it enables so many cross functional uses. 500 gig is more than most people will use and the only reason to go to 1 or2 TB would be for a serious professional.
Pros:
  • Transportable
  • Practicle
  • Multi System Use
  • Stylish

Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1TB Black Portable Hard Drive

Basic test of high quality of a quickly external drive;Touch an external drive with your hand, when the drive is "on" for about an hour. This drive as cold like a cucumber... do the same with a different manufacturer's drive. Be cautious! you could burn your hand.

WD 2TB Passport

Excellent product, prices are coming down, fast transfer, I have purchased WD "Rugged Case" for 500gb drive and these larger drives fit when you snap out the removable retainer. I do not use the included software anymore, since it does some strange things.... advertised size is 2.048TB..
Pros:
  • small fits into wd rugged case fast transfer
Cons:
  • warranties could be longer than 1 year

Portable, Durable, Fast !

An amazing little device, picked it up to store college work on ideal for college or uni fits in your pocket or in your bag pouch. It's really fast, and even faster when connected to a USB 3.0 Slot. I was totally blown away by how great this device really was.

Western Digital My Passport 500GB review

Not as sleek as the new Edge series the My Passport (formerly known as My Passport Essential) isn't without considerable appeal. Sure it's a little chunkier than the Verbatim Mobile Hard Drive and the design's quite bland but it's what inside that counts right?
Pros:
  • Excellent software
Cons:
  • Crummy performance

A fabulous storage device which is amazingly compact and easy to use.

I was over the moon to receive this as a Christmas present because we are emigrating in a few months time and I knew that we needed to back everything up before this point. I had specifically asked for a minimum 1TB sized external hard drive and aimed the request at my tech-savvy brother in law,...
