No instructions. Just had to guess what I needed to install. I have had this for a year now and it appeared to be saving things so I never really worried about it. Windows 10 had so many issues I had to erase my computer and now trying to reinstall info from the backup it says there is nothing on...

The new smaller USB connector (smaller than the standard mini USB on the 360GB) on the Passport is horrible. A slight touch and it loses connection, causing the dreaded "device removed unexpectedly" warning. This happened 3 times today in my first us...

The pliers are tiny, but of course they are because this tool is tiny. The plain and serrated blades actually work. I like the ruggedly designed bottle opener, despite the little thing's overall not-so-rugged appearance. The screwdrivers are useful, but not great.

The drive is big enough , easy enough, and make back up simple

i like the design and the drive works well, however, it doesn't seem to be compatible with my NAS.

works well

not compatible with my NAS

Ever-tumbling prices of solid-state disks (SSDs) make them tasty propositions for users looking to speed up their systems by installing an SSD as a boot drive. The 2.5in form factor of most consumer SSDs also make them eminently suitable for portable-storage purposes, given the innate shockproof...

Passport is the rather apt name chosen by Western Digital for its range of portable hard drives. Not much bigger than the 2.5in notebook drives they contain, these pocket-sized storage devices are now more pocketable than ever, thanks to their extra-rounded corners – not to mention attractive...

Large capacity; Personalised e-label display; Three connection options: FireWire 400/800 and USB 2.0; Straightforward software for labelling; locking and backup; 256-bit hardware encryption

Only one FireWire port – no daisy-chaining; No carry case in the box

The Western Digital My Passport Pro is a portable RAID array with a Thunderbolt port. Sadly, the My Passport Pro only has a Thunderbolt Port; there's no USB port, so you'll need a computer with a Thunderbolt port if you want to use it.

If you want to store a lot of data, and maybe even use colors to categorize your data, the new My Passport portable drive from WD is for you. The drive has up to 4TB of storage space (also available in 3TB, 2TB and 1TB) and comes in six vivid (mostly) color options: black, yellow, red, white, orange...

The new WD My Passport portable drive has lots of storage space, good performance and supports strong encryption; It's available in some vivid color options and comes in an eye-catching design

There's no USB-C (so no future-proofing) and the high-capacity versions of the drive are bulky

Increased capacity is expected with storage updates, but Western Digital has added some useful features for its lastest My Passport Studio. We miss the second FireWire port, but were impressed by the labelling system of the Western Digital My Passport Studio 640GB.
