WD MY PASSPORT 3TB REVIEW FULL

The device is almost entirely finished with a matt black plastic, but has a patterned, partially glossed finish on the top surface, which I'm already seeing is quite prone to finger printing. It feels solid and has some decent weight to it, but not enough to deter you from taking it travelling. I could instantly tell once removing the device from the packaging that it's really well built. USB 2.0 port for external transfer (card reader, dslr etc)

Not the cheapest hard drive around if you're just looking for simple and portable, but this drive is so much more than that.Īvailable in 1TB, 2TB, 3TB and 4TB models. The 2TB model, featured in this review, retails for $340AUD. There are four sizes available for the My Passport Wireless Pro.

This is fairly straightforward workflow that I've been happy implementing over the past few years, but it surely isn't the quickest option. My MacBook Pro has a fairly small internal SSD, so I would generally need to wipe the files from there once transferred to an external drive. Whilst I'm travelling I would typically fill a memory card, transfer the contents to my MacBook Pro, then transfer THOSE files to an external hard drive (I never format my SD cards until I'm home and the files are backed up on my main drives). I've never had a brilliant track record when it comes to backing up my images, which I'm sure will come back to bite me in the butt later. Well, the My Passport Wireless Pro might just be the missing component of your travel kit.

Is it just me, or is backing up a real PITA? Especially after a full day of shooting on location, the last thing you want to do when you get back to your accommodation is to spend hours backing up your images from the day. However, the opinions expressed in the following review are my own and are in no way influenced by WD. *Disclaimer: The My Passport Wireless Pro was provided by the awesome people at Western Digital.
