Fast and Reliable...

I was attempting to hold out until a portable drive with USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt came out. Doubtful, at this point, that anyone would ever consider that possibility. But, circumstances changed and I required a large drive with a fast/common interface (USB 3.0).
Pros:
  • 2TB of storage and USB 3.0
Cons:
  • No thunderbolt compatibility..

Western Digital My Passport 2TB review

Portable hard drives typically distinguish themselves in one of two ways: Speed or capacity. With its brisk USB 3.0 interface and plentiful 2TB of storage space, the Western Digital My Passport (which retails for £170) approaches this proverbial fork in the road and takes both paths.
Pros:
  • Huge capacity
  • Speedy USB 3.0 transfer rates
  • Attractive and compact chassis
  • Some useful pre-installed software
Cons:
  • Not as future-proofed as some rivals
  • No alternative connections to USB

Failed Within 6 Hours

Used this on a new 2012 MacBook Pro with USB 3.0 (after reformatting using Apple's Disk Utility on OS X Lion) and tried to copy/paste two folders containing 1.2TB worth of backup data.
Pros:
  • Compact
  • portable
Cons:
  • Very unreliable
  • crashes / dies permanently when used for storing large files

Very Happy

The harddrive got here very fast, and was a breeze to set up. Works great so far, and I am very happy I made the purchase. The computer gurus at work recommended the WD brand and it seems to have a good reputation so I felt comfortable buying it. So far so good.
