        Comments about Western Digital WD Elements SE 500GB Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (Black):

        I have bought several of these hard drives and they all set up very quickly on my Windowa XP program. I am using over 300 gb on each drive to convert all of my old VHS tapes to my computer. I am using the USB 2.0 connection but am glad that the drives will work with a 3.0 connection if I obtain this connection in the future. These drives will also work on other Windows programs. I am going to give some of the loaded drives to people with some of these other programs. I think that they will appreciate the ease of using these drives to view the converted VHS files.

            Comments about Western Digital WD Elements SE 500GB Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (Black):

            This is a fine portable drive accessory for traveling with the laptop, small, lightweight, and sturdy, easily fits into your laptop carrying case, briefcase or even a shirt or jacket pocket. Western Digital really provides a paucity of information in the paperwork which comes with it, unfortunately, and their website is not of any real additional help. For people who are a little more computer literate than average you can ferret out the information you need without too much bother.

                I received your inquiry through the Question and Answer Feature of Staples.com and I apologize for I was unable to answer you directly. I believe this may be a question that the manufacturer will have to research further, please feel free to contact Western Digital at 1-800-275-4932.

                A:

                This particular portable hard drive does not come with automatic backup software. You would be able to do manual backups on this particular hard drive, but not the automatic.
