External Hard Drive for laptop recovery operation
This review for: WD - My Passport Ultra 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Silver Bought this for a friend after his laptop died and I needed to back up his hard drive. I appreciated that it has a usb c cable but also has an adapter for a full size USB port. I went for the ultra version because of the extended warranty because I'm not sure how often this will get used so I wanted to make sure that it was going to be reliable for when they did use it. Hardware encryption seems a little gimmicky just because I'm not sure how the implementation works if you are using the drive with multiple devices.

Fantastic Unit
This 2 TB Ultra is so easy to have. You don't need batteries as it gets that to your desktop or what ever your working with. I used it to take folders off my old Desktop, and it got everything I put on it with a lot more space to work with. When you plug it in to a Desktop, or a portable unit it comes on immediately. I love how easy it is!!
