As everyone knows, video and image files are large files that require a lot of storage space. This external hard drive has 2 TB of storage, enough for 40 hours of video recording.
At only 4″ long and less than an inch thick, it fits nicely in my laptop bag. PLUS it doesn’t need a power cable. You just plug it in to the USB port on your computer. To protect the WD My Passport I bought an AmazonBasics Hard Carrying Case for My Passport-Essential. The cost seemed very reasonable, only $6. The semi-hard case gives good protection to the hard drive.
Inside the case is a nice elastic band that secures the hard drive and there is a pouch on the other side of the case to hold the USB cord. Pros – The WD My Passport is small, lightweight, and attractive. But most of all it has a lot of storage space. Cons – None evident yet. It is a little pricey at $149 but I remember a couple of years ago I paid the same amount for a WD Hard Drive that was only 500 GB, required a power cord, and would never fit in a laptop bag.
