Love MyPassport
I now have enough room to back up all my other old back up drives, plus my last laptop with files that couldn't sync because it had no memory left, plus my new laptop and online storage too! Wow - this little black box holds everything I need to keep my backup files on hand and safe!
I just got this drive today. It functions via USB-3 in a standard fashion. I have just two comments at this time (and I'll add more later if anything changes). (1) All power to this drive comes through the USB cable -- it does not have a separate power cable -- so it will be a relatively constant...
Easy to use
Works fine out of the box. Comes with backup software, but was immediately recognized by Acronis True Image for WD, so installation was not required.
I'm currently transferring about 1 TB of video files from this drive to an internal drive. The speed is ranging from 50 MB/s to 105 MB/s using the USB 3.0 cable that came with the drive on a USB 3.0 hub which is plugged into a USB 3.0 port on my desktop running Windows 10 Pro.
Not impressed
This required the install of their software for scheduling, etc. All I needed was an external hard drive to use as an auto-backup, using my computer software. More complicated than it needed to be and did not want their software on my computer. Auto-loads upon start up as well.
