Extend the usefulness of your portable devices with a Western Digital My Passport external hard drive. This portable drive offers 500 GB of extra space, so you can store all of your photos, movies, and music files in one place. Your entire multimedia library will be available on this device when you're on the go. Connect it to your laptop, tablet, or smartphone with Western Digital's plug-and-play technology, which ensures the device is compatible with any operating system, including Windows and Mac OS. You don't have to reformat the drive when you connect it to different operating systems. Simply plug it into the USB port, and the system will recognize the drive automatically. The USB port also charges the battery, so you don't need an additional power adapter to use the drive.

Universal Compatibility
The My Passport portable drive uses USB 3.0 connectivity for fast file transfer speeds. The drive is also compatible with USB 2.0, in case you have older devices that are still using this standard. Using My Passport with a device that has a USB 3.0 port gives you three times the transfer speed of a USB 2.0 port.

Advanced Security Features
Western Digital My Passport hard drives use encryption for maximum file protection. You can also set a password to prevent unauthorized use of the drive.

Automatic Backups
Western Digital's My Passport external drive comes loaded with backup software that will automatically copy your files when you connect the drive to your devices. The drive quietly backs up each file in the background whenever a file is altered.

              Comments about Western Digital WD My Passport 500GB Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (Silver):

              I had a dream that someone broke into my office and stole all of my computers and I was completely devastated that I had lost years of work! I woke up that day and started researching ways to backup my work, ie; CAD drawing files. I determined to purchase a "second" Passport. I currently use a Passport to store all of my files for backup purposes, but it remains in my office connected to my computer with files dated since the year 1995. I will now copy files to both Passports and take one to my banks'safety deposit box once per week and alternate those for a continuous backup process.

              I purchased this product for a film editing class that I am taking. Most people in the class spent a ton of money but this reasonably priced product works just as well and has adequate storage space. My only con is that it doesnt come with a carrying or holding case.
