Western Digital WD My Passport Essential 500GB USB ULTRA-PORTABLE USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 Drive Black
Cons:a little larger capacity would have been nice
Pros:FastQuietusb3 Comment:
Very nice little external hdd, got it for an ultrabook that only had an ssd and it adds the additional storage the laptop needs. It would have been nice if it had more capacity, but by the time I use the 500gb much larger drives will probably be available for the same cost |

Western Digital WD My Passport Essential 500GB USB ULTRA-PORTABLE USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 Drive Black
Cons:-none
Pros:-small-fast-great price ($70) Comment:
This is a great little drive! I purchased it for my sister (who's travels a lot) and it is perfect for her to put pictures and files on! I bought it for her because her ultrabook only has a 128GB SSD (not upgradable either), so not a terrible lot of storage space. This drive is about the same thickness as her ultrabook, and it's very light and fast, perfect for someone on the go! Not to mention that it was only $70! |

Western Digital WD My Passport Essential 500GB USB ULTRA-PORTABLE USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 Drive Black
Cons:no case included
Pros:Good storage for the price.Good build quality Comment:
Fast speed with USB 3. I copy at around 60 mb/sec.Design is nice with a mesh-like texture.It's a really good drive and haven't had any problem with it even if i carry it a lot. The only small con is with other western digital disk i owned they always included a small case with the disk. It's really not a big of a deal, you can buy a generic one for a couples bucks. |

Cons:They still have a ridiculously short USB cable, it's almost too short.Still a bit expensive for 500GB at $89
Pros:Very QuietQuick transfer rates with USB32 Year WarrantyWay less finger smudges and scratches than last years finish Comment:
Overall it's a nice reliable drive for anyone in the neighborhood for a USB3 external. |
I needed a small usb drive to transport with me. I think this drive is probably the smallest USB3 drive around.
