What customer says about Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB:
"Excellent External Drive" By OlyNomad (
)I am very satisfied with this external drive. Within 10 minutes of opening the package I was transferring pictures onto it. I have Windows 7. I opened the package up, undid the cord, plugged it into the computer and it took about 5 minutes to locate and install drivers and then I was good to go. I transferred over 300 pictures right away, lightning fast and it didn't even make a dent on the space available. It has 5-star performance, but a bonus is that it looks 5-star too. Very compact and stylish. It has a user manual installed with it that has more languages than I've seen on any other product, so if English isn't your first language you are set with instructions. The product includes 30 days of free telephone support during the warranty period that starts with the first call you make to tech support. Email support is free through the entire warranty period. I have not had to use tech support so it hasn't applied, but that is good to know.See original review here
"Exactly as expected" By D (
)Good size, good weight, good price, easy to use.See original review here
Some of the most computer savy users might be mildly annoyed that the backup software that comes pre-loaded isn't removable, but it's a tiny fraction of a 1tb drive, and if you want to use it it's pretty decent software.
The drive is fairly fast, even on a USB2.
