Check File System Drive Partition

I like how the drive could be partition

I test it and check the file quality is perfect

I have two computers to back up and I wanted space to do a system image and a backup of specific files. That way I could restore the whole system if the hard drive went bad, or I could just restore a specific file if the file went bad. This hard drive has the space to do that for both of my computers. And the cost is the lowest anywhere. The drive is small and fits perfectly in my safe. Very happy. Thank you.

Only drive I use for my video file backups.

I use this as my main file drive with a M2 program drive.

I bought this drive as an emergency and backup drive to have while traveling. It is small, lightweight, and doesn't require a separate power cord. It is excellent for the purpose and a very good value.I have a 500 GB MyPassport that has been in constant service for more than two years as a Time Machine drive for an iMac. That My Passport has performed flawlessly.This My Passport does not come GUID formatted (required in order to install OS-X), but GUID can be added easily with Apple's Disk Utility. I've partitioned the drive into a 250 GB bootable OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion) partition and a 750 GB Time Machine partition.

I use the drive to back up my laptop and I use another partition to archive all my photos. It isn't USB 3.0 but it is plenty fast when transferring data. I haven't used it for very long but so far so good. I like that is doesnt come preloaded with WD software.

I upgraded my Windows 7 machine from a 1TB to a 2TB hard drive it was easy to install. I used Clonezilla Live to transfer an image of my old drive to the new one and then expanded the 1TB partition to a 2TB partition using AOMEI Partition Assistant pro.

Drive comes with software for managing it on Windows and (I think) Apple, but I deleted the partition(s), threw a BTRFS on it, and it was happy as a clam.

I bought two of these for two different older Win10 computers with spinning hard drives that were degrading, making the computers very slow. First was my wife's nearly 9 year old laptop. First attempt at cloning drive failed because the computer shut itself off during the process. Be sure to go into power settings and disable automatic shutdown or sleep mode. Once I did that the cloning succeeded. Second PC was a desktop with a 250GB spinning drive. The SSD is 1 TB. Using the cloning wizard, it wanted to create a 217 GB Windows partition (same size as it was on the spinning drive) and it wanted to blow up the recovery partition to well over 700 GB. Well, that's stupid! It should have kept the recovery partition the same size and increased the Windows partition as much as possible. So I halted the cloning and restarted it in manual mode, which allows changing the partition sizes. In manual mode the cloning software made the correct suggestion: it kept the recovery partition and two small mysterious partitions the same sizes that they were on the hard drive, and it increased the Windows partition to 871 GB. So I accepted those sizes and did the cloning. Why couldn't the wizard have figured that out? Bottom line - pay attention during the cloning process to make sure the wizard isn't doing something dumb. Both computers are now running much faster than before. My wife is delighted with her new laptop. She says it is now super-fast. B&H sale price was great with free two day delivery.
