The review about this product
WD My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 3.0/2.0 Ultra Portable External Hard Drive (Silver) (Personal Computers) Product arrived exactly as advertised, quickly and properly packaged. Hooking up the product was simple. But I had difficulty selecting which files from each of my drives I wished to back up. I was uncertain whether the backed up files would be in their original format or whether I would need to run them through the specific software to access them. (The 1tb Passport Essential was purchased as a 3rd line backup for my office files. I intended to carry the device off-site for use at home.) Anyway, I figured I would let the device do its thing. After 2 days, my 300gb office drive was still only partially backed up. I decided to use some other duplication programs I have licensed, such as Retrospect 7.6 from EMC. No matter the configuration, the Passport would only copy at .3mb per minute. A little too slow for my use. I decided to simply cut and paste items from my hard drive to the Passport. I honestly believe I could have copied the files faster by using a pencil and paper. Next, I played around with Passport's software, made certain my computer had all the proper files loaded. I tried a number of configurations. I found that the configuration that worked best was the one where the Passport was placed into its original box and returned to Amazon. I have a Maxtor and Seagate hooked up to my hard drive. I have a network RAID array as well. I had used an Apricorn 40gb for many years (5.5 years) until it died. (Services are pending. In lieu of flowers, you may send a new external HD.) I consider myself to be familiar with the use of USB drives. Only after I had all of these problems did I scour the web. I discovered many many complaints about this product. For some reason the Amazon reviews did not reflect a more general dissatisfaction with the product.
