Big capacity, small footprint
This review is from: Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 3.0/2.0 Ultra Portable External Hard Drive (Black) (Electronics) This is an easily portable hard drive with generous 1 TB capacity. It is compact, lightweight and runs nearly silently. It was instantly recognized when connected to a desktop machine running Windows 7 Professional (32-bit), to a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit), and to a netbook running Windows XP Home.None...

This review is from: Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 3.0/2.0 Ultra Portable External Hard Drive (Black) (Electronics) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ### PHYSICAL ###One terabyte that fits in your jeans pocket.

High capacity in a slick looking little external hard drive
This review is from: Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 3.0/2.0 Ultra Portable External Hard Drive (Black) (Electronics) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program I can remember when I was impressed by a 356 MB hard drive on my new computer. (Remember those days?) Now here's this back-up external drive that is a terabyte, something that not so many years ago was in the domain only of supercomputers that took up whole roo...

Great drive, but useless software
This review is from: Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 3.0/2.0 Ultra Portable External Hard Drive (Black) (Electronics) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program I needed a new backup solution for my pictures, so I was thrilled to get a Western Digital My Passport 1 TB drive. I am really happy with the size, shape, and weight. It is sleek and light, and could easily be used as a large (storage space wise) portable drive...

Excellent External Drive
This review is from: Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 3.0/2.0 Ultra Portable External Hard Drive (Black) (Electronics) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program I am very satisfied with this external drive. Within 10 minutes of opening the package I was transferring pictures onto it. I have Windows 7. I opened the package up, undid the cord, plugged it into the computer and it took about 5 minutes to locate and instal...

May not work
This review is from: Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 3.0/2.0 Ultra Portable External Hard Drive (Black) (Electronics) I bought this hard drive about 7 months ago prior to my deployment to Afghanistan. The weight and size were great. Seemed perfect. I get to afghanistan, and may have only plugged it into my Sony VAIO ten times, when suddenly it would not be recognized. Like it didn't exist. I kept unplugging it and plugging it back in. I then tried it on a bunch...

No thanks
This review is from: Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 3.0/2.0 Ultra Portable External Hard Drive (Black) (Electronics) It was awesome - for the week that it worked. I have a Macbook and for the week prior to the HD crapping out, it worked beautifully. The software it came with is cool and easy. The drive is a little bigger than my phone - perfect size and super portable. I only had about 200gb's on it, and i plugged it in one day, and all of the sudden my laptop...

Buyer Beware
This review is from: Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 3.0/2.0 Ultra Portable External Hard Drive (Black) (Electronics) This drive comes with 'Smartware' which I can only describe as crippling corporate bloatware. But unlike the likes of U3 or other technologies that large companies have made as ported as value-adds, this one reserves some 500Megs of unusable drive space dedicated to an automounted virtual CD drive that requires you to load additional drivers on...

it was a dud
This review is from: Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 3.0/2.0 Ultra Portable External Hard Drive (Black) (Electronics) This hard drive is very cool. Tiny, light, huge capacity. No power cords, no noise.And, for me, it only worked for about a week.I don't know why- defective? software incompatible? I run win xp on a 4 yr old computer with plenty of memory, power supply, etc. No obvious reason for imcompatibility. After about a week of u...
