BASIC Review: Western Digital "My Passport" Pocket HDD (1TB)

This is a BASIC review of the Western Digital "My Passport" Hard Disk Drive (1TB in this case), just the drive in itself. As of this upload, the drive comes in 500GB, 750GB, and 1TB sizes. Larger soon to come. The HDD also comes with software to password-protect your data, as well as giving a graphical representation of the types of files are on the drive, and to an extent, a graphical percentage of each. To me, this is just a multimedia drive, so this added software is useless to me, as it'll not function on multimedia players if it's password protected. The drive works right out of the box (for PC's at least), and is powered by the included USB cable. Best part is, it's a solid chunk, not the old 2GB partitions their other HDD's use. While this HDD can play multimedia files just fine, it is NOT recommended for playing games, or anything that needs to occasionally hit the drive for data. Games will appear to freeze up, as well as other apps, since the drive imediately powers down when it's not in use. This drive is solely designed for backup purposes, so: Good for multimeidia use: YES Good for backup purposes: YES Good for games: NO Good for intense apps: NO Included Software: DEPENDS (If you take it with you, maybe, maybe not.)
