This review is for: Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 3.0 2.0 Ultra Portable External Hard Drive (Silver)
I needed a new backup solution for my pictures, so I was thrilled to get a Western Digital My Passport 1 TB drive. I am really happy with the size, shape, and weight. It is sleek and light, and could easily be used as a large (storage space wise) portable drive. It stays plugged into my computer at all times, but if I needed a drive that I could carry around with me, this would be it. The shell seems sturdy and protects the drive well.The 1 TB size is great and will enable me to back up pictures for years to come, even the large DSLR files we take.My issue with the drive, and what prevents this from being a 5 star review, is the included software. Western Digital includes backup and drive protection software. The drive protection password protects the drive, which is essential for anyone who travels with a drive like this one. From what I can tell, it works very well.The backup software is a different story. It doesn't allow the user to pick selected files or folders, or even back up a drive other than the C: drive. For someone like me, who doesn't use the default configuration of a computer and keeps media files on a different drive, this is completely useless. Not being able to select which folders I want backed up means the software is unusable for me.Again, I really do love the drive and use it with third party software, and it's reliably backing up my computer. I just wish I could have used the included software instead of having to purchase something new.

It was awesome - for the week that it worked. I have a Macbook and for the week prior to the HD crapping out, it worked beautifully. The software it came with is cool and easy. The drive is a little bigger than my phone - perfect size and super portable. I only had about 200gb's on it, and i plugged it in one day, and all of the sudden my laptop wouldn't recognize it. I tried it on 3 other laptops and nothing happened. I called WD and talked to two different people - they both said the same thing. "Alot of laptops don't have enough USB power to power up a portable hard drive over 500gb's"....whats the point of having a portable drive if your lappy can't power it? Granted I only have USB 2.0 - but what's the point of being portable if my laptop can't power it?Good thing Amazon is awesome and is giving me a full refund.

I am very satisfied with this external drive. Within 10 minutes of opening the package I was transferring pictures onto it. I have Windows 7. I opened the package up, undid the cord, plugged it into the computer and it took about 5 minutes to locate and install drivers and then I was good to go. I transferred over 300 pictures right away, lightning fast and it didn't even make a dent on the space available. It has 5-star performance, but a bonus is that it looks 5-star too. Very compact and stylish. It has a user manual installed with it that has more languages than I've seen on any other product, so if English isn't your first language you are set with instructions. The product includes 30 days of free telephone support during the warranty period that starts with the first call you make to tech support. Email support is free through the entire warranty period. I have not had to use tech support so it hasn't applied, but that is good to know.
