Reliable and Portable
I keep my WD My Passport 1 TB External Hard Drive in my work bag 5 days a week to make sure I have any files I might need. The drive is USB 3.0 (backward compatible to USB 2.0) so it is fairly quick for a portable hard drive. There is a little trade of in speed vs. a larger, desktop style hard drive like the LaCie D2 series, but it is fast enough for my needs. It's also small enough to carry back and forth to work every day in my messenger bag. I use a Case Logic Compact Hard Drive case to make sure my WD drive stays in one piece while I commute.I have had no issues with this hard drive over the last 1 1/2 years. I expect it to last at least another year of daily use before it fills up or needs to be replaced. I have owned 3 of 4 Western Digital Portable drives over the last decade and they have all served me well.I would recommend the Western Digital My Passport Hard Drive.
