Western Digital My Passport 2 TB Review
S SDs packed in 2.5-inch USB 3.0 casings are the fastest portable storage devices. But that's only for a handful of those who prefer speed over capacity. To the rest, size matters most! Here, hard drives come into the picture because they offer a strikingly low price-per-GB.

Great, but only lasted a year
I was loving this. It has a backup function which only copies new or updated files. It also stores 'iterations' of files as you are working on them, however these take up disc space and it's worth regularly removing them. I would like to see this as an automated feature.

Great portable 1TB external drive. Doesn't need external power, and is smaller than my older WD 320GB drive. I have experienced 85MB/s sustained while copying large files. There are much cheaper 1TB external drives out there, but they are bigger and need to be powered.
