Shopping for a portable hard drive? Seamus Bellamy, while writing for The Wirecutter blog, offers a suggestion for you: Western Digital’s 2TB My Passport Ultra. And after reading Bellamy’s review, choosing any other portable hard drive looks foolish.
Affordable and powerful
First, the My Passport Ultra is reasonable, retailing for about $150. For that price you receive a lot. Bellamy raves about the device’s storage space, speed and reliability. That’s a pretty powerful package for under $200.
Storage space
Bellamy also raves about the My Passport Ultra’s storage space. Based on Bellamy’s review, the device has as much storage as you can possibly get in a portable hard drive. You might not need all of that storage now. But, as Bellamy writes, having it available will prevent a future case of buyer’s remorse.
Fast
The My Passport Ultra is fast, too. Bellamy said you can transfer files to your computer — band back again — in the blink of an eye. The fact is that, the hard drive is so fast you’ll probably take it for granted that all portable drives work as quickly. They won’t.
