I’ve been a huge fan of the Western Digital (WD) Passport external hard drive since the first ones hit the street. When I received my, then largest capacity, 80 GB, I was elated to use it. Since then, WD has added another 40 GB to welcome a third model to the line with a 120 GB amount of space. Also just added is it’s new WD Sync software that comes with every new drive.
WD Sync allows you to, “securely access, edit and share Microsoft Word® documents and Excel® spreadsheets, MP3 files, e-mails, attachments and more from anywhere – in a cybercafé, on a friend’s laptop or in a colleague’s office.” Using 128-bit encryption along with password protection, your data — e-mail, documents, pictures, all of it — stays safe and guarded. Since the data is on the external hard drive itself, you don’t have to worry about others looking at your files after you leave their computer.
If you’re a current WD Passport owner, like me, no worries on missing out. You too can download the software and start using it immediately. Visit the WD Sync web site and come armed with your serial number and after a few questions answered, you’ll be all set to securely sync your files on your external hard drive as well.
If you haven’t checked out the line of WD Passport drives, you should. Ranging in capacities of 60, 80, and 120 GB for the Passport Portable USB and 6 GB of storage on its, “ultra-thin WD Passport Pocket Drives,” featuring, “a unique flip-out, rotating USB 2.0 connector that allows use in tight spaces and is thin enough that two drives can be used at the same time in the tightly spaced USB ports found on notebook computers,” you won’t go wrong with any of them.
