A look at what might be the best portable hard drive on the market
Business Technology | October 17, 2013
There are lots of portable hard drives out there. But which hard drive is best for you? Seamus Bellamy, a writer for The Wirecutter, offers a recommendation: Western Digital’s 2TB My Passport Ultra. In a recent review Bellamy said that this portable hard drive has all the things a computer user could need.
Affordable and powerful
First, the My Passport Ultra is affordable, retailing for about $150. For that price you get a lot. Bellamy raves about the device’s storage space, speed and reliability. That’s a pretty powerful package for under $200.
Storage
What’s key in a portable hard drive? Storage space. Bellamy in his review writes that users should always purchase as much storage space as they can possibly afford. The good news concerning My Passport Ultra is it offers the most storage space available in a portable hard drive.
Speedy
The My Passport Ultra is fast, too. Bellamy said you’ll be able to transfer files to your computer — band back again — in the blink of an eye. In fact, the hard drive is so fast you’ll probably take it for granted that all portable drives work as quickly. They don’t.
