Overview
Plugging into a USB port backs up photos, videos and files on the go with this slim WD portable drive, which works with both fast and older USB ports. A free trial of SmartWare Pro backup software comes with it.
Choose it for adding a large amount of storage to a laptop or console without any extras. The title also names Mac and Xbox, while the spec table lists only a PlayStation console, and the listing says nothing about reformatting.
Who it's for
Backing up a laptop and holding game libraries or media files suits the compact drive. Those wanting password protection or a documented format for Mac and console use should check the maker's page.
Pros and cons
- Large capacity in a small drive
- USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 compatible
- Backup software trial included
- Works with PC and Mac
- Console compatibility stated inconsistently
- No encryption listed
- Formatting for Mac and consoles not described

Performance notes
Transfers run over USB, and the speed depends on whether the port is the fast or older kind. The drive limits sustained speed, since it is a mechanical disk. The operating temperature range means it should not be used or left in very hot or very cold places.
