I picked up this product for business so that I can do file transfers, take backup images, store files, pictures, data on it. It's nice and small and portable, the usb 3.0 is pretty quick and it holds 1TB. I would certainly recommend this to anyone else but the only thing I would have done is picked up the 2TB for myself due to the amount of storage I'm constantly using it for. I'm installing a SSD drive in my laptop that won't have as much space so I'm moving everything from my laptop to the external drive for additional storage.

I bought the WD Passport to backup data on my desktop. when i tried to retrrieve the data out of it, half of it was missing,and any i did get was 3 or 4 days behind . finally, I gave up trying to access anything more, and plugged it into my laptop, hoping it would work better,but
I couldn't get my laptop to boot up. Instead I got an error message that said "bootmngr is missing". I wound up having to buy a new hardrive for my laptop. the computer tech said that it probably killed the hardrive.

        • Photo Back-up

        Comments about Western Digital WD My Passport 1TB Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (Black):

        I use this as a third back-up (and the only one I store off-site) for my photography business. I keep it in an off-site bank safe deposit box except when performing back-ups. Currently, I have well over 20,000 images in the catalogs I am backing up on this drive. I also use this drive to back up my Adobe Lightroom processing files and selected large file Photoshop "layer" projects.

        This drive's portability and easy connecting is important as well as its overall physical size relative to the size of my current safe deposit box. I also consider the price/value of this unit to be important since I anticipate utilizing several more as my business and resulting portfolio expands.

        • Q:

          Does this product come with a USB cable? If so, how long is the cable? I have a feeling that I will need to purchase a separate USB cable because I need one about five feet long. Can you tell me what kind of USB is used, so I will know what to order?
          Asked on 3/22/2013 by CT gal from Fairfield, CT

          1 answer

          • A:

            A standard USB cable, which is what is shipped with this product, is generally not 5' in length, so you'll need to purchase a cable separately to fit your needs.

            This hard drive comes formatted for a PC. Depending on which version of the Apple OS you are using you may have to format it before using on an Mac. But the product is compatible with Macs.
