WD My Passport Ultra 2TB 3.0 USB Portable External Hard Drive, with Automatic Cloud Backup, USB Powered, Titanium

I purchased this drive to use as storage for images which are used and processed in Lightroom and Photoshop CC. I had read the reviews which were above average. But I have owned this drive for about a month now, and I have found it to be just OK. Yes, it's quiet and hopefully reliable. It was inexpensive too. On Sale I think I paid about $85, which is a great price per GB. But by comparison to my other external USB 3.0 drive (LaCie 9220) it is 50% slower according to the BlackMagic Disk Speed Test. Barely cracking 35mb per second, the WD drive has now been relagated to my Time Machine back up drive, and the LaCie has earned the spot as my external image storage device. For instances where speed is NOT of the essence, this is a good performing, solid drive. If you have a need for speed, this is not the drive for you.

I took this hard drive with me to Africa to down load my pictures as a back up. Never had any issues. Data loaded quickly with the 3.0 connection. It was light and easy to use.

I use my WD My Passport 2TB External Hard Drive, USB 3 to store my photos and music. It is easy to install (just plug it in to the USB port) and easy to use.
