  • Perfect for Mailing Data and Video Projects! SOLID PERFORMER
Capacity: 3TB Style: Standard Enclosure Color: Black
If you're like me, maybe you have several computers or do some public speaking and need your larger projects in one portable resource. That's exactly how I'm using this WD 3TB Black My Passport. It's so quiet that you may not be sure it's running at all, but it does, and just with power through the USB-3 pigtail that comes with it. So much less expensive than a comparable SSD, that you can get several of these and have backups. I also have a Red Version so that I can find it quickly in my camera bag. When I have to travel and collect a lot of video data, this is part of my redundant backup regimen. I save the CF cards from my camera bodies and also backup all RAW data to my Passport Portable drives. it's very inexpensive peace of mind. FAST, I don't have a method, or I'm not tech savvy enough to "clock-the-drive", but I can share that I can edit and work on a video in Adobe Premiere Pro at 1080p at 60 fps with no lag problems. But I primarily import the data to the computer and then back-up the work on the Passport drive. I did a recent presentation and had large video files that I needed to share with my audience. Again, 1080p files at 60 fps played perfectly with no glitches. Very convenient to be able to use this drive as a portable video presentation resource. It has a solid feel, sits in one spot without much concern with sliding around as it has four soft rubber pads when laying flat, though it seems to perform equally well at any angle. I did get the zippered case with it and highly recommend some sort of protective enclosure for the drive. Even when I'm really loading or unloading the drive, it doesn't seem to get very hot? No visible venting and no internal fan. I also use these drives to mail my data to other creatives. The drive (without the pigtail) weighs exactly 8.5/8 ounces and you can ship it First Class Mail. Well under the First Class Postal Limit for weight. I'm very pleased, performance, form, housing, and weight. I would definitely recommend the WD 3TB Black My Passport as a working extra drive. ... show more

  • it's what I use for doing backups for my computers
Capacity: 3TB Style: Standard Enclosure Color: Black
It's not as simple as the older model My Passport. I would have given 5 stars if there was a way to turn off automatic backups. There may be a way, but it's not obvious. This newer My Passport insists on doing automatic backups that are only a few megabytes. I disconnect My Passport to keep it from doing those. I really doubt that that's an adequate backup. To do a proper backup, I recommend downloading Acronis True Image WD Edition. Then as long as you have a WD device such as My Passport connected to your computer, you can save a proper backup to a drive other than C provided your operating system is one of those supported by Acronis. The backups that I do are multiple gigabytes. I always put the date and computer description in the name of the backup file on My Passport so that I know how recent it is and which computer it's for. Then I delete the prior backup so that I only have the latest one and don't clutter the drive with files that I don't need. A really nice thing about this USB 3.0 external drive is that it is much faster than the older USB 2.0 version. It will do a backup in about an hour that My Passport USB 2.0 drive took several hours to complete. ... show more

  • Great product
Capacity: 3TB Style: Standard Enclosure Color: Black
I love this little drive. I bought the 3 terabyte drive as a "back up to my backups". I connected it directly to my Dlink 890DL router via the USB 3.0 port on the router. It acts as a network connected drive, and is accessible from all of my computers (Mac and Windows machines). I have 2 primary backup drives (WD My Book 2 Terabyte, and an Apple Time Capsule 1 Terabyte) connected directly to my MAC. My family dumps pictures and music to the Apple and WD all day long. I back both of those "primary" backup" drives up to this "secondary backup" drive. You can never have to many backups:) The connectivity was fairly easy. The router connected to the drive right away. My Windows machine was easy to map to the drive, but the MAC was a bit more clumsy. I had to install an App on the MAC for it to see the drive (drive is Windows format). I believe newer Mac OS will see Windows drives, don't quote me on that. To access the drive from the MAC is still a bit clumsy, but it works. Overall a good experience, and I simply drag the entire contents of my primary backups to this secondary backup drive. The drive gets it's power from the USB port, so only one cable to worry about. ... show more

  • 3 TB? what a drive.
Capacity: 3TB Style: Standard Enclosure Color: Black
USB drives are hard to tell who is the bottleneck, the drive or the computer its connected too. I'm no computer geek anymore, and I don't really care. I set this little drive up to backup one of the computers and I go to bed. I get up and it's done. It was the odd size that intrigued me. 3 TB. Not 2, not 4, but 3. Perfect. It's small, its light, its black and it holds a lot. I know some of the backups were done on USB 2 instead of USB 3 and I'm sure that is part of the speed. But it worked regardless. Don't use this as an active drive, but great for backups. ... show more

  • Good, but be careful with it.
Capacity: 3TB Style: Standard Enclosure Color: Black
I've been loyal My passport owner for a few years now. I've had a previous model and bought this one a year ago. I'm happy with it. It works well, has no failures. The only thing I would warn about is to not drop it. Of course that applies to all hard drives, but the new design of this one makes the cap come off. I've had that happen, and even though I successfully popped it back into place, I still believe that this new design is inferior to the previous one. ... show more

  • Relatively inexpensive, good for backups
Capacity: 3TB Style: Standard Enclosure Color: Black
I need a system to back up to a hard drive that I can then store somewhere, not necessarily off-site but more like archival. These hard drives fit the bill. You plug them in, run a backup system to sync up an internal hard drive to it, and then unplug and store. These drives are physically tiny, fast enough, and seem reliable enough. Just don't drop them while they are running. ... show more
