    Pros: Latest mainstream laptop HDD technology using NCQ SATA 6G within USB 3.1 enclosure and bridging adapter. You will most likely not be able to use this HDD internally for a laptop/desktop. Higher Sequential Read compared to 1TB My Passport Ultra Higher 4k Random Read invariant of que depth USB 3.1 speed limit is around 300 MB/s, so speed is not limited by USB 3.1. Random speeds are acceptable for USB 3.1 for a mechanical hard drive. Basic utilities are already included in the drive. WD…

    Pros: I only used this as a portable drive. I loaded this 1TB drive with 360GB of music files from my Itunes library. It took about 90 plus minutes. easy setup, I only used the utilities and not the backup. I did not want to confuse my existing backup. Works great, now I can bring my library with me to work. Cons: The cord is kind of short Overall Review: I recommend this as an easy to use portable drive

    Pros: – Small and sleek form factor – Included software for password protecting or backing up – Plug and play simplicity Cons: – Cable is USB A to USB 3.0 micro B connector that may be hard to find kicking around (unless ordered) if you lost or damaged the included one. Overall Review: This external HD performed quite well for what I was expecting. On USB 3 I was getting 116-120MB/Sec writes and reads with large files and 2-6MB/Sec on random sizes of writes and reads to the drive. The…

    Pros: Very affordable and portable USB hard drive. But for about 2x the price, you can get 4x the storage by getting the 4TB version. I’ve been collecting music and movies for over a decade and I almost filled the drive entirely. Available in several vibrant colors Nothing rattling around in the case- seems strong and durable USB 3.0 connectivity 3 year warranty- sign up when you get the drive! Western Digital is a well-known hard drive manufacturer that makes and supports good products…

    Pros: This drive gives you the following: – Auto backup with included WD Backup software – Password protection with hardware encryption – Ease of use – Built with WD reliability – USB 3.0 port; USB 2.0 compatible – 3-year limited warranty I think it is also important to download the My Passport Portable Hard Drive User Manual. This manual will guide you through all the information concerning your new Passport. The manual will give you information that includes the drive’s features, what is…

  6. Byoung O.

    Pros: Support USB 3.0. Comes with a back-up software. There is really nothing special about this hard drive and that goes same for pretty much any hard drives out there. CrystalDiskMark test results are as following. ———————————————————————– Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 115.004 MB/s Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1) : 114.545 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 0.623 MB/s [ 152.1 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 1.460 MB/s [ 356.4 IOPS]…

    Pros: + Fairly quick portable hard drive that takes advantage of USB 3.0 speeds + With it being a platter based hard drive, the speeds are as follows at different points: 0GB – 115MB/s 250GB – 110MB/s 500GB – 90MB/s 750GB – 75MB/s 1000GB – 60MB/s + Very quiet when in use Cons: – USB 3.0 connector vs. the newer USB-C such as can be seen on Western Digital MyPassport SSD drives. – Plastic enclosure which limits heat dissipation – The hard drive uses a proprietary circuit board with a USB 3.0…

    Pros: As other reviewers have noted, it’s plenty fast for a (presumably) 5400 RPM drive. Runs cool. Aesthetics are subjectively either a pro or con — if you like Legos, you’ll probably like the blue or yellow drive. Three-year warranty is certainly a plus. Cons: Of dozens of hard drives, I’ve never received a DOA before, so must have been due for one. From reading reviews I understand that Dead on Arrival rates throughout the industry are 5 to 10%, which to me suggests that most hard drives…
