Why flirt with losing all your critical data when the Western Digital My Passport Essential SE can make the back-up process so quick and easy? Just two common concerns many have have to do with enough storage capacity plus the ability to be portable. While this review is not comprehensive, it is a great place to start if you are looking for a backup device.
It is common to see specs moving up to the 1 TB range, and that is what this Western Digital drive is good for. For all the computer novices out there, when we say 1 TB, we really are saying 1 Terabyte worth of data. You could always get more drives if you need more space, but we cannot imagine what you would be doing to warrant so much capacity. This means that for most users, you won't have any trouble storing as many files on this hard drive as you want, even if you have items such as photos or videos that use up a lot of digital space. So of course you need to estimate your capacity needs and see if that will be enough for you, but we are guessing it will be.
Of course the unit itself, the Western Digital My Passport Essential SE, comes complete with all the necessary hardware, etc. Perhaps a rugged little transport case would have jacked up the price a little bit. Unfortunately you must buy the case in addition to the unit, and we know that is a favorite marketing tactic. If you do not buy a WD case, just be very sure that you get something that can take punishment. Spending the extra money to ensure your drive and information you downloaded to it are well-protected matters.
There does seem to be an issue with the physical connectivity of the USB to the computer. Safety precautions are needed to ensure that the USB connection is not interrupted at all. This is a portable device, for mobility, so you really do need to keep this one point in mind. When using the device in a public place, you might not always have the ideal conditions to keep the connection stable. This is not a universal problem which suggests it may have something to do with a specific manufacturer.
The Western Digital My Passport Essential SE is a portable external hard drive that has some great and not so great features, some of which we've looked at in this review. If this sounds appealing to you, then the next and most obvious step is to find out more.
