We use several generations of WD My Passport external drives to archive our photo collection, do daily backups and provide an alternate boot drive to our various systems. And today, B&H is offering the 2-TB version for $79, a $20 discount (which also happens to be 20 percent off) when you enter the code BHNAB16 at checkout.
The WD My Passport includes a USB 3.0 port running at speeds up to 5-Gb/second and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 at speeds up to 480-Mb/second.
