Usb Pen Drive 1Tb

I have been using a 1TB Passport USB Hard Drive for Mac by WD for second backup. The first is a fatter 1TB WD drive with a useful Firewire connection.Recently, I noted a surge in digital photos in my files that I have been backing up regularly. I am approaching the 1 TB, so I decided to but this modest 2TB drive.It is literally plug-and-play. I shall probably buy another one soon for the sake of making redundant backups. At the current prices, this is a modest investment in securing my digital files.

This 1TB Gold Anniversary Edition is another great hard drive from Western Digital.There are only two things that I do not particularly like about this drive.1.There are no rubber feet on the underside of the unit2.The USB cable is thicker and stiffer than the earlier modelsThese two combine to cause the drive to sometimes slide around when it's sitting on a smooth surface particularly when the USB cable is plugged into my MacBook Pro.Apart from those two minor complaints I really like this drive.1.This unit has so far performed flawlessly. 2.Compatible with both PC and Mac 3.USB 3.0/2.04.It's extremely fast and quiet5.Huge capacity6.Great price 7.Stays cool8.It looks awesome, has great form factor9.Contrary to what another reviewer has stated, this drive is extremely easy to reformat to the Mac platform, it took me all of 2 minutes10.Oh Yes, and there's Free Expedited Shipping, gotta love FES

Great 1TB Drive!

I bought this to duplicate my 1TB Elements drive, and it works just as you'd expect a hard drive to work: plug it in, and you can immediately start putting files on it! I have no complaints other then the fact that it doesn't use micro-USB or USB-C. Would definitely purchase again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got the new Samsung T9 Portable 1TB SSD drive. The drive is unexpectedly small and quite attractive with a rubber-like covering. I’m very pleased that the drive comes with both USB-A and USB-C cords for attaching to most any type of device. The drive is connected via USB-C to my Mac Studio computer. The Mac OS instantly recognized the drive and allowed me to format it for my Mac (Mac OS Extended Journaled). I tested the speed with a disk speed test utility, which reported 829.8 MB/s (write) and 890.8 MB/s (read). The speed is approximately 11X faster than my other USB external drives. I am struggling with the included Samsung PSSD utility. The app always tells me that the drive is not connected although my Mac sees it and allows me to use it. I’ve tried all of the Samsung troubleshooting suggestions for Mac OS, but it still remains unusable. That really makes no difference for me to use it. Nevertheless, I like everything about the Samsung T9 Portable 1TB SSD drive. It’s a great addition to my system.

I used the Pearstone USB SATAIII adapter recently to clone my 1TB hard drive on my desktop to a 2TB SSD (solid state) replacement drive. The cloning and SSD replacement worked very well.

I was about to buy a 1tb WD My Passport when I noticed there was also a 2tb model for only$ more & so I could not pass it up. The USB 3.0 seems to add a nice speed burst with my 2012 MBA, but even with my older Mac Pro & USB 2 it still moves data quite fast, plus the drive barely gets warm even during big transfers. I love the portability and the small form factor & it is working great for keeping my large music library handy when needed, or storing/moving around large Pro Tools sessions or Final Cut movie projects. At this point it appears to be a perfect drive for my needs plus B&H got it to me cheaper than * could do with only a couple of extra days shipping time.Overall I am very satisfied and hope this drive continues to work this smoothly for years to come.

This is my second WD Elements SE 1TB drive. I have them both hooked up to a WDTV Live, which I use as a simple NAS and media player. They are very reliable and quiet. Even though I only have USB 2.0 ports on all my computers, the USB 3.0 interface in the WD Elements does seem to allow for slightly faster transfers than a standard 2.0 external drive. I also like the matte black finish better than the shiney finish on the comparable Seagate drives from a cleaning and aesthetics standpoint.

replaced a much larger 1tb external drive with this one that is the same capacity but weighs about 1/10th and takes up much less space. Highly recommend for expanding laptop storage. I edit large image from this drive and don't notice any reduction in speed even though I'm using it on a regular usb port (not usb-c) since my computer doesn't have a usb-c.

I have this connected by USB 3.0 to a Asustor AS5304T 4-bay NAS. Setting it up was easy after the supplied USB cable broke as soon as I went to use it. First test was installing 1tb WD hhd's, works fine. Then I decided to see if I could figure out a way to install 2.5 ssd's. I found on Thingiverse a 3D model of a drive adapter that I could print and use. Made that and put a Crucial MX500 1tb ssd on it. This was able to be inserted into a bay and recognized. That works. BTW - These drive so far were NTFS. Here is where it I had an issue. I tried installing a 2.5 Seagate 5tb hhd formatted with a NTFS volume. This did not work. The Sabrent station changed it to show up as a GPT protective partition. I next installed A WD 4tb hhd and got the same results. After googling this problem I found that someone had contacted Sabrent about it and the suggested to do a low level format. I know that doing this would tie up a drive for ages before completion. Here is what I did: 1. In Windows I used Diskpart and performed a Clean. Then used Disk Management, initialized the disk and did a simple exFat volume. This worked on the drives I wanted to use that were over 1tb. Why? I did more reading and from what I understand is that it has to do with the disk sector sizes. This I don't need to understand for I only care about getting to a usable enclosure with larger drives. I have even read elsewhere that some people got so frustrated that they put it aside to collect dust. I hope this helps them. Overall, I am please with this product except for that junky USB cable.
