Advantages: High speed, Massive amounts of storage, portable

Disadvantages: Chassis is not very hardy

If you ever wanted one of the one the move hard disk look no further. The Western digital my passport 500 GB version ffers the perfect balance between portability and storage space

Without the need of external power and its small size its great for those boring train journeys. Another notable feature I found was that it works very quietly and is almost noise free cmpared to its big brohter counterparts

The my passport feautre has basic encryption for tose with security concerns. It also has the added advantage of a USB2.0 cmpatability with a higher speed than its compeptition. Perhapbs the best feature is that it doenst slow you computer down when connected like other hard disks.


Its very simple and easy to use and only need to be connected via its USB cable and transfering files can begin in the next minute. Its got a very appeal outer chassis with a sleek smooth finish. However it is very fragile so dropping it or something heavy on it might risk damaging. Its always a wise idea to invest in a ao pounds case

All in all a classic buy al although a little more priceier it makes up in terms of its portability

Summary: Although slightly pricier it makes life so much easier having one of them in your pocket
