How is this better than a passport ?
Mainly, because i've seen wayyyy too many dead wd passport drives. I have 3 1tb seagate's that are all great.
Although, to be totally honest. I just tried using my new 2tb drive (the one i linked to above), and im having big connectivity issues. Drive disconnects for a short second or two every couple of minutes. Searching reviews online it seems like a few others also had the issue. But most haven't complained about it. So maybe get neither
