WD My Passport 1TB Portable External HDD - White

Recently, my old PC started to crash and I realized that I needed to back-up my many files as soon as possible. After browsing through various computer outlets online, I found a perfect fit for my needs at PB Tech (WD Elements SE 2TB Portable External HDD - USB 3.0WD). This external hard drive Is effortless to use - just plug and go. It also has plenty of space left for extra storage and/or backups.

Connected through a USB hub with no problems. Plenty of capacity for system image and file backups - I was finding my 2GB drive a bit constrained. Connected through a USB hub with no problems. Plenty of capacity for system image and file backups - I was finding my 2GB drive a bit constrained.

A great product. Small, compact and very quiet while transferring (transfers quite fast too). 3.6GB total space. A great product. Small, compact and very quiet while transferring (transfers quite fast too). 3.6GB total space.

Seems to do the job. Happy with my purchase Seems to do the job. Happy with my purchase

I did not realise it will not work straight out of the box if you are with apple. It was not pointed out to me by the sales person at PBTech, nor did he ask if I was on Apple or Windows.
He should have asked me this question and then let me know what would be involved to set it up as I am on apple computer.
To make it worse the set up instructions were missing from inside the box.
I would have preffered to get a Seagate disk as that works straight out of the box when you are on a apple computer.
I would not purchase again.
I would buy a Seagate instead of Western Digital Hard Drive
After all the hassle on set up it works ok - but I...view more I did not realise it will not work straight out of the box if you are with apple. It was not pointed out to me by the sales person at PBTech, nor did he ask if I was on Apple or Windows.

Worked straight out of the box and software was straight forward to setup the files to backup. Worked straight out of the box and software was straight forward to setup the files to backup.

I now have two of these and use them as dual backup drives for all my personal files and data. I bought this second one because I had another Seagate drive die on me with no warning. I'll stick with WD from now on. Thanks for the prompt delivery, PB Tech! I now have two of these and use them as dual backup drives for all my personal files and data.
