| 611 of 640 people found the following review helpful  An essential storage backup tool in a digital world, By This review is from: Western Digital My Passport 2 TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive -WDBY8L0020BBKNESN (Black) (Personal Computers) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?) I'm a computer repair technician, and one issue I have all the time with my customers is, the famous, 'a virus hijacked my computer and those precious pictures are inside'. Yeah, the prom, the honeymoon, or the newborn pictures are usually held without ransom. Most of the time we are dealing with malware of some sort that affects the Windows operating system files, but leaves the data intact. So, before I repair the computer, I rescue the pictures, and any other file they might value. However, not all repair technicians do this, most allege that the files are corrupted, which might be the case, but usually it really means they are too busy to rescue anything, don't know how to do it, or will not do it unless paid big cash.For one own's sakes, the best thing to do is backing up the data before the computer gets infected, or the hard drive fails. For pictures I recommend backing up the original files into data discs, but for faster everyday files backups (music, movies,...

So-So software, By LDB (Florida) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Western Digital My Passport 1 TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - WDBBEP0010BBK-NESN (Black) (Personal Computers) This is my first experience with a Western Digital hard drive. I purchased the 1 TB Passport drive as opposed to others mainly because CNET awarded its Editors' Choice for the 2 TB model ( which was not available for sale when I placed my order). I am currently using the WD SmartWare (version 1.5.4.5) that comes with loaded the device.Pros: Smart form-factor. Very small and sleek for a 1TB drive. USB powered ( just plug it into your USB port). No need for a power cable or bulky ac adapter. Makes for true portability. Impressive USB 2.0 speed during my initial back up of 131 GBs worth of files/content. Automatic file backup feature One USB cable( supplied)supports both 3.0 and 2.0. Surprisingly quiet and runs fairly cool too. Excellent customer support. I called twice and spoke to well trained/professional technicians. Cons: WD Smartware software. Surprisingly so-so for this cool little device. Not as intuitive or...

I had purchase a MY Essential Passport 1TB 2 months prior and expected the same kind of performance. A 1 hour backup on the older drive was taking more than 8 hours on this drive. I stopped the backup and I ran Atto benchmark on this drive. Out the box and it was rate at 25-30 MB/s which is USB 2.0 speed.I Have a My Essentials Passport (which is also USB 3). So I took the cable from that drive and ran the benchmark, it read/wrote at 115-120 MB/s which is what I expected in terms of performance from this drive; its very close to eSata speeds with the proper cable. I changed USB 3 ports and saw no change in performance. I reattached the original cable provided and the speed went to USB 2. I contacted WD technical support and was told that I had a defective cable and that I would receive one in 4-5 days. When I got back from vacation the cable had arrived and I ran the ATTo benchmark... Read more |
