How it's going to work:
- Every few minutes, we're going to release more inventory.
- Shortly, the button below will turn back to yellow (unless we sell out).
- At that point, try adding it to your cart again.
Pro Tip: If that works, checkout as fast as you can. It won't be reserved until you are in checkout. Good luck!

Small Package, Lots of Storage

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Doing some spring cleaning and I have several old laptops that I have been holding on to for years. Mainly because they have documents and photos that I might possibly need someday. I made an appointment with the Geek Squad to backup 2 old laptops and my current laptop. I bought this little hard drive because it was on sale and I am extremely happy with the purchase. It got everything. Documents, photos, videos!! So much stuff with lots of space left for more! Also, you can take it anywhere because it fits in the palm of your hand. I highly recommend this compact, powerful hard drive!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I 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.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:BackupI used the 2 TB USB 3.0 drive to image several laptops and pc that I just upgrade to Windows 10. I also used it to restore the image to new SSD drive to replace the old HDD. Works great. The other day, my wife 6 months old PC data drive died ( just totally disappeared from my computer). I was able to pop in a newly purchased WD blue and re-image the data drive from a recent image. Now I have about 5 WD USB drive from 1tb to 4tb. Lots of image versions of the multiple laptop and pc.

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.
