A:AnswerFrom what I've searched on their product info, you can tell the size from the Model # (P/N). The last two digits followed by a set of letters (which in my case is 10 because I own a 1TB drive). So if you own a 2TB, it will have 20 and so forth. It's complicated but there you go. Hope this helps!
A:AnswerJake, this is a late response. I am sure you discovered the difference for yourrself by now. I own 4 of the My Passport drives. None of them the X model. As near as I can tell, after doing some quick research, the difference is that the X series is preformatted with Fat32 to enable it's instant use on a XBox (360, One, One S and One X). The My Passport series is formatted with NFTS, making it preferrable to PC users. I myself, own every model XBox made and did not know this.
A:AnswerYes, it comes with many free apps if you connect the drive and open a widow to it you should see WD Discovery. Click on it load the app the open the app WD Utilities. Then click on the settings icon in the upper right corner go to User Guide, the instructions for setting the password are there.
A:AnswerThe only question I can think of that may come up is whether your USB connection on your dash can provide enough power to use it . a Thumb drive is probably preferrable as it has no motor, no moving parts.
A:AnswerYes. Connect the drive to the XP system, copy the pictures to it, disconnect and connect the drive to the new Win 10 system, copy the pictures to the computer.
A:AnswerDear MichaelC;
Nope. It's just a blank drive. I don't know of any encryption software for this model. It's a good model, however.
Hope that helps.
A:AnswerI copy iPhone photos and videos onto my laptop’s hard drive. Then I can save the photos and videos onto the Passport. I copy the files from the laptop hard drive onto the Passport.
I don’t know of a way to transfer files directly from a phone to Passport.
A:AnswerI never recieved the code for a digital photo book that was offered with both hdds I purchased as well. Pretty sure it was a employee error. Not too sure if your case is the same.
