When it comes to absolute portability with your external hard disk, it is time to look at the size and the usability of the drive. What you want to look for is an ultra portable external hard drive that has the fastest connectivity that is currently available. This means that you should be looking for a drive that has the latest connections paired with a nice and sleek design that fits in your pocket. Is this available? I say that it is.
Western Digital is very well known for the high quality hard drives that they produce, and the fact that they like to provide their customers with what they want. They have mad a series of My Passport drives that are literally not much bigger than your wallet, so they fit in your pocket if you want to. It comes with a nice glossy surface that makes it look like something else than an external hard drive.
USB 3.0 is touted to be over ten times as fast as USB 2.0 and you can definitely notice it when you are using this ultra portable hard drive. Just plug it in your computer and transfer the files – the technology can go up to 5 gB/s but there are limitations that don’t allow you to use this speed just yet. Although we are quite sure that during the next few years it is possible to get access to all this speed, this drive is still very fast and comfortable to use.
Automatic backups, hardware encryption and extremely small design are just a few of the features that make this drive worth the money. Did I mention that it comes in two sizes 750gB and 1 terabyte! That should be more than enough for most of the users who are looking for something that is really portable. Heck it is enough for most people looking for any external hard drive.
