A:AnswerHow many will it hold? About 70 times your entire collection.....
For reference
2 terabyte drive can hold about 650,000 3MB Photos
OR
500,000 MP3 Files @ 4 minutes per song
which would be about 4 years of music or 33,332 hours of music.....
if you are like me and store 1080P MOVIES compressed they run about 2Gig compressed so about 1,000 movies.
If you just rip the BluRay without altering it more like 200-250....I would suggest COMPRESSION!
Enjoy!
PS if you are a MUSIC lover then you might really like an addional product you can get at Best Buy. It is a WIRELESS USB drive from SAN DISK. I have several and they are really SUPER for trips. They fit in your pocket and when turned on they become their own WIFI device and serve the files on the drive to those connecting to it. The kids can play music or watch movies on devices that have WIFI or those with a USB port... Charge it by plugging it into a USB somewhere like an Iphone charger!.....Myh son took 6 movies to Disney and lots of songs and shared them on the bus with his friends. VERY COOL!
A:AnswerIt will work for you. Just don't buy the one that's for the cloud as that one is a little more difficult with setting up for regular cpu users. Get the one that is standard that you can plugin to the computer. Like this one WD - My Book 6TB External USB 3.0/2.0 Hard Drive - Black. Maybe not as big but the same brand/type.
A:AnswerThis device comes with the backup software built-in. It also includes a free upgrade to WD SmartWare Pro for 3 PCs. This allows you to back your Dropbox directly to your hard drive, your hard drive directly to your Dropbox, or schedule automatic backups. Windows comes with automatic backup software, however, though it might not fit your needs.
A:AnswerThe drive comes formatted with NTFS which is supported on both 8.1 and Vista. Unless you have a very exotic security setup, you should be able to move the drive seemlessly between the two machines, much as you might a memory stick. Just try to remember to save and close all your files and to use the "eject" menu option in explorer, before unplugging from the machine.
A:AnswerYou should be able to plug it in and start copying data to it immediately with any version of Windows, Vista or later. It comes already partitioned (with one partition) and formatted with NTFS.

A:AnswerIf it's like my drive, it gets its power from USB. So you don't need a power cord, but just a USB cord. And those are available cheap everywhere. But make sure it has the right USB connectors at the ends. The two connectors are different. One's a regular USB connector, and the other is mini or micro or something. Just make sure it fits, and it will be the right one.
A:AnswerThere are no connections to Iphone or Ipad from a USB device such as this so I would use Itunes to transfer them to either the MAC or the PC to use them.
A:AnswerI have one external hard drive an Ultra 2TB External USB 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard Drive and I use it for back up for my apple lap top and my gate way desk top I dont leave the external hooked up to either ( you should never do this in casr hakers get into your PC) there are setting to change to back up the 2 different typys of systems
A:AnswerI have an older style of the My Passport (bought a few years ago). Mine works fine with Ubuntu, so long as you don't activate the smartware lock that WD puts on the drives.
