Western Digital is a hard drive manufacturer that has built up quite a catalog of complimentary products to make use of their drives. In this review we are going to take a look at the My Passport Ultra 1TB portable hard drive, which is a compact device featuring USB 3.0 connectivity and a handful of...

High speed USB 3.0 connection provides for super quick transfers; Faster than comparable Seagate Backup Plus 1TB drive; Security through password protection and drive encryption; Available in a handful of colors and capacities; Compact housing is aesthetically pleasing

More expensive than comparable Seagate Backup Plus 1TB drive; Cloud feature is just instructions to go use Dropbox

I have had this for a couple of months now and can't fault it. Its a small compact device but with 2TB, definately worth the price tag! Its sits nicely hidden behind my laptop and I can take it with me wherever I go if needed.

I have connected this HDD to my network server and the family can upload photo's,music, films & documents they wish to share. Can also download to any device from the internet with plenty of room for films. Quick upload time with USB 3.

Great External hard disk with size, design, software tools. Even after using it for extended hours, HD is not heating. Pretty cool with this. I am little disappointed with the USB 2.0 transfer speed. It is around 25 MBPS which is lesser than my older HD. But other than everything is great with this.

It could definitely be a bit more rugged, and we'd like to see a proper Mac version with either a Thunderbolt or Firewire interface.

This backup drive to safety store all my important data and files for future use. Equipped with advanced technology, the device easily connects with laptops and pc and provides me easy sharing content. It price is good.

i really liked the size of this item, and have trusted WD for some time. i needed some spare 1TB drives for backup/copies. these are easy to carry, plenty of space, built tough, and the color is nice, too.

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...

Huge capacity; great speed; full-featured software package

Backup software is not reliable or good for advanced users; can't make backup images

Western Digital's My Passport is a portable hard drive that goes big on storage and slashes features back to the bare essentials. It packs oodles of capacity into it's compact, plasticky body, though, and its 2TB capacity providing 1.8TB of formatted space.
