I replaced my old Kindle Paperwhite purchased in 2014 with this one and honestly, other than the pages turning much faster and the charge lasting longer I don’t see much difference. My old one works almost as well as this one though it was slowing down a bit and needed frequent charges. I only use the Kindle to read novels so I can’t comment on its other advertised features. It is slightly larger and I have a choice of fonts that I didn’t have before. I bought the bundle which included the cover and 9 volt wall plug. There are other covers that would probably work just as well and cost less and I really didn’t need the plug. Like most people I have all kinds of cable and plugs lying around. But, it was a bundle and on sale 🙂

I have been using the Western Digital WD 1TB My Passport Portable Hard Disk Drive for several months now and I am extremely impressed with its performance. As someone who works with large files and needs to constantly back up important data, this hard drive has been a lifesaver. First of all, the design of the hard drive is sleek and compact, making it easy to carry around with me wherever I go. The black color gives it a professional and modern look. The USB 3.0 connection ensures fast transfer speeds, which is essential for my work. The storage capacity of 1TB is more than enough for my needs, and I appreciate the fact that I can store a large number of files without worrying about running out of space. The hard drive also comes with password protection and hardware encryption, which adds an extra layer of security to my data. In terms of performance, this hard drive has exceeded my expectations. It is incredibly fast and reliable, and I have not experienced any issues with data loss or corruption. I use it to transfer large files, and it has never failed me.

You can’t go wrong with Western Digital. Very small package for huge storage. Plug and Play – connected the USB cable, (included) and my computer immediately recognized it. The portable drive is larger than the drive on my laptop, so I partitioned it into 2 virtual drives. One partition for an Image/Backup and a second partition for file backup & storage. The partitioning process was flawless and now my computer recognizes two separate drives. I am super happy with the WD SSD portable drive. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a portable drive. I’m even thinking about buying another larger drive and partitioning into more virtual drives for backup of other computers.
My only complaint and major disappointment with WD, is that the free “WD Backup” software is no longer supported by WD and hasn’t been for a few years. They offer a free version of Acronis, which doesn’t work. Installed the Acronis software, created a bootable disk on a USB Flash (thumb) drive, then rebooted the computer from the thumb drive and created a full backup/ disk image to the new WD drive. The software seemed to run perfectly, and said the backup was successfully created. I felt really good that I had a full backup of my 2015 laptop, in case I ever need to replace the mechanical HDD. But it was a false peace of mind.
Only 2 weeks after using the Acronis backup software, my computer was crashing shortly after bootup, which it had never done before. So I thought I would test the new drive and backup. After rebooting with the Acronis USB Boot drive, it asked for the location of the image file. The computer recognized the WD drive with all of the Acronis backup folders. But then the Acronis software said all of the folders were empty and there was No Image found. WTF?! Acronis said it successfully made a full disk copy. But then the software could not find its own image.
DO NOT USE the ACRONIS software.
I was fortunately able to fix the boot/crash problem using other software. But if my hard drive had completely failed, I would not have a usable backup copy to restore to a new drive. I would have been screwed. It would have been better if I never attempting to create a backup. At least I would known that I didn’t have a backup copy to rely on, rather than falsely thinking I was protected.
In addition, the “free” software isn’t really free. It’s only a 30 day free Trial version. So if you make a full backup within 30 days, and later have a critical problem, you will be forced to purchase the full version to perform the restore. The backup file versions are propitiatory, so you can’t use another brand of software to do the restore. They’ve got you! You can make a free backup/copy (if you can even get the software to work properly). But then you have to pay for the software to actually use the Backup in order to Restore. This is akin Ransomware.
I have since purchased other backup/imaging software and made a full (working) backup to my new WD drive. I’m very happy about that.

Been using this for about a year now and have had no issues. Reliable and its small size makes it easy to transport. Storage is /actually/ 1TB.
