I have no complaints about the capacity and ease of using my Western Digital 500GB My Passport Portable Hard Drive. It is exactly what I needed to safely store video and photographs in a pocket-sized device.

The WD 500 GB My Passport USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive (Blue) is a convenient, high capacity option for anyone with a lot of videos, photos, music and files that they want to keep secure - and take on the road.
Designed for speed and convenience, the My Passport hard drive makes backing-up your files fast, easy and most importantly automatic. You can set up the included software to automatically back up files and folders, so you never have to worry about making copies of your favorite photos, videos, or music. It has a low impact on computer resources while running in the background and will instantly back up any files the moment you add or change them.
Using high-speed USB 3.0 technology and also compatible with any USB 2.0 port, you can now transfer files faster than ever before, with rates of up to three times faster than previous USB 2.0 technology. Keep those files not only stored, but protected, using WD Security for password protection and hardware encryption - to protect your files from unauthorized use or access.
