Perfect photo storage
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I love how small and compact this is. Love that it had options for colors so we can tell mine from others. Holds amazing amount of pictures that I haven’t even scratched the amount and cleared off laptop and phone full of years of pictures. The pictures are the blue one but the black one is great too.

|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.It's actually needed if you own a HP Streamer, because it has a small drive that should be free for windows 10 updates, and all other programs stored on my WD Drive, my goal is to move the Windows10 system to my WD drive, but I need to buy additional software to do that.

Hard drive
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.External hard drive was easy to install. It took a while to get the down loadable apps to get loaded and installed. As a sidebar the package was delivered in a card board box, no damage but the box in the box was messed up torn and re- taped I was afraid that it was damaged but it was ok.

Q: QuestionWill this back up photos and Family Tree Maker from laptop and PC? Does it come with instructions about how to format it or anything that is needed to be able to back up items? Will I need any special cables for the PC?
Asked by WendyF.
- A:Answer It comes with a cable that you just plug into your USB port. You will be able to move or copy anything to it that you can download or that is sitting on your PC. No software setup required. Just plug in, make sure you locate where the drive is (on my laptop, my hard drive is C:\ and this devices comes up as E:\ so I make sure anything I save or move or copy to this external hard drive is on E:\). From there, you can create your own file folders such as: E:\Photos of Canada Trip

Q: QuestionDoes the software do a good full system backup? My last Passport did it for awhile then the software stopped doing it. I could copy other files. What is the version of the software? Thanks in advance!
Asked by DebPeace.
- A:Answer Back up drives should usually be twice the size of the drive you’re backing up. You want to be able to store at least two backs ups on the drive. So yes, it will do back ups provided it is large enough to accommodate your drive.
