Western Digital My Passport Essential SE Reviews
WD My Passport Essential SE 1TB Review
What good is an external drive for backups if there isn't any good backup software to go along with it? Western Digital's My Passport Essential SE comes with a bevy of utilities to help users more easily protect their important files, photos, and videos. You also get a full terrabyte of storage for 1GB, but the speed and design of this $109 drive give us pause.One of the lighter drives around, the Western Digital My Passport Essential weighs just 7.2 ounces, half the weight of the Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive. Still, the Passport's plastic case felt very flimsy, flexing when we pressed on it. The even-lighter LaCie Rikiki (7.1 ounces) has a tougher aluminum case.The best aspect of the My Passport Essential is its included software. The clean and intuitive installer walked us through the setup quickly. The program prompted us to perform an initial backup and to add a password to protect the drive, steps not offered on any of the other drives we tested.During backup, the software provides a visual indicator of the status by way of gauges. As the backup finishes documents or media files, you see a box that fills up. Restoring files was also just as easy using the Western Digital software.

With technology advancing and USB 3.0 becoming very popular Western Digital has released versions of its My Passport drives that support USB 3.0.

Special thanks to Western Digital for providing us with the My Passport Essential SE 1TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive to review.

Getting everything out of the packaging you have the My Passport Essential SE drive, USB 3.0 cable, and a user’s guide.
Product Survey: External Hard Drives
There are two types of My Passport Essential hard drive - the standard version and the SE version – with the SE range boasting higher storage capacities. This 2.5-inch My Passport Essential SE external hard drive is available with a capacity of from 750 GB (model tested) to 1 TB. It is only available in one colour (black), compared with five colours for the lower capacity models of 250 to 640 GB. There's no change to the casing, although the overall size of the external hard drive has been reduced to a compact 110 x 83 x 15 mm. That explains why Western Digital has chosen to use a micro USB interface instead of the mini USB format that's usually found on this type of product. WD My Passport SE 750 GB Samsung S2 Portable 500 GB The Western Digital My Passport SE 750 GB has slightly slower transfer speeds than the Samsung S2 Portable 500 GB hard drive. In both read and write modes, the Samsung outperforms WD's model by 2 MB/s and 1 MB/s respectively.
