Review on WD 1TB My Passport Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - White (WDBYNN0010BWT-WESN) by Kyle Hong

Revainrating 5 out of 5

works great, great price, hope the reliability is there too

works great, great price, I hope the reliability is there too, the first time I shook, overheated and failed the driving test (it was only hanging at 90%), gave it back to a new one that was already on the way. In the meantime I ordered the blue one which works great and passed the full drive test. You must be running the program to use Password Utility, so you need administrative privileges on the computer where you want to use it. My encrypted flash drives don't require admin privileges, but after going through the TSA x-ray I figured it would be good to have a backup of the hard drive in case the hardware encrypted flash drives get damaged by x-rays. Hard drives have magnetic technology so they are not affected. Soft-encrypted flash drives are too unreliable for me. Hardware works better.

Pros
  • There's something in there
Cons
  • can I add something
