Portable External Storage Devices: Experiences and Opinions differ ... << "I hate WD Passport external drives. ... their 2.5 externals suck." ... ====================================== Disclosure: In this century I've never lost an internal or external HDD (knock on wood because I could lose one tomorrow as it is the nature of electromechanical devices). I backup regularly to secondary internal WD or Seagate 3.5" SATA drives on my DPE andalso to external desktop or portables. I currently have 3 available older 3.5" AC powered desktop externals: a 7 year old 500GB Iomega with power switch and (2) 5 year old 1.5 TB Seagate GoFlexs without. My 3 newest externals are all 2.5" USB 2.0/3.0 powered portables manufactured by Western Digital: 2 are WD branded My Passport Ultras (6th and 7th gen) and the newest is an HGST branded Touro manufactured by Western Digital in China that was ordered on Saturday afternoon and just arrived Monday ... ====================================== So far the Touro S which spins at 7200 RPM is impressive. I'm backing up using licensed EaseUS 9.1 on a relatively new Win 10 Dell and the backups and recoverys are definitely faster than those using the 6th and 7th gen My Passport Ultras (as they should be).
