But it does not stop there, as you have:
- An extremely small size (it fits in the palm of the hand, and the case is very little thick compared to competition)
- A power supply fully via USB (compared to the old model of the Elements, who needed an electric cable)
- WD quality (WD and Seagate are trademarks or there is nothing to fear level reliability and data loss, you have anyway a manufacturer's warranty)
- The reviews are very good in the Anglo-Saxon world
- Absolutely no "crapware" preinstalled. No backup or native encryption software compares the MyPassport. So much the better, IMO, because it is easily replaced with free software.
Note on the cable (which is of course included): this is a "microUSB to USB" in model 3.0. The microUSB is the successor of miniUSB, more difficult to find but much smaller and a little more robust.
