Western Digital Mobile HDD, how about Western Digital HDD

You should go to the official website of Western Digital to ask about this.

I've been buying it lately, and I've been researching it a lot, so you'll have this question.

My Passport Essential is the world's most popular mobile hard drive, go to Amazon (abroad) to see it, basically buy him, he is beautiful, and the software is good. This is the biggest difference between him and the Elements Scorpion, which has no software.

Personally, I think the biggest difference between a mobile hard drive and a hard disk is to use it comfortably, just in the software. I don't really care about the speed of big brands or anything, because it's all about the same.

I value two points, synchronization and encryption, which is very important, often borrow other people's hard disks at work, in case there is any data in it, it is very unsafe, unless it is transferred first, it is very troublesome.

Sync allows you to turn another computer into your own computer at once, favorites, my documents for outlook (this is very important, if you have more contact with the Internet, you can't do without him).

It is recommended to go to Newegg to buy, now there are free coupons, **not bad, I won't tell you**, check it yourself, buddy share experience, don't serve lazy people.

Let's talk about my own, I haven't considered elements, I think about My Passport Essential and Maxtor's One Touch Mini4, only more than software, almost the same hardware, WD's good-looking, but the surface is easy to absorb fingerprints and be scratched (ugly), Maxtor's ugly, but the aluminum case has good heat dissipation, and the bottom is anti-slip design. **All about the same, the workmanship is great. The power supply of WD is estimated to be better, and Maxtor needs two interfaces.

I was going to buy Maxtor's, because Maxtor's software has many functions, (the synchronization is worse than WD's, Outlook can't,) but Maxtor's trump card function is encryption, which can't be used in China, so I've been looking for a way to use it, if I can, I will definitely use Maxtor's.

And it's very strange that Maxtor's ** is very low in China, and 20 dollars more expensive than WD's abroad, go to Amazon to see it yourself, and the reviews are very poor, but Maxtor's evaluation is really good (foreign evaluation**).

I'm depressed

The quality is almost the same, they are all products of major hard disk manufacturers, but there are other aspects of purchase consideration:

1. Low-end: Western Digital and Seagate have two series: high and low-end. Western Digital's low-end portable hard drive is the elements series, and Seagate's counterpart is Ruiyi.

2. High-end: Western Digital's high-end mobile hard disk is My Passport, of which the Ultra version is the top pole disk, which continuously copies large files for 118M s. Seagate's high-end disk is Ruipin, and now it has come out to the 3rd generation, called Ruipin Upgrade.

The main changes in the 3rd generation are that the volume is getting smaller, the thickness is getting thinner, the material is getting better, the capacity is getting bigger, and the speed is also slightly improved.

3. Ultra-thin. Both have ultra-thin hard drives, which are more beautiful in appearance. For example, Ruipin, ABS brushed shell, up to 1T.

Xinruipin, metal matte shell, 1T, 2T. This series has one-click backup and cloud storage. There is also a Ruipin slim that is thinner, only 500g, as thin as the iPhone, however, more than 1t can't hold it, too.

PC and Mac share data through a portable hard drive, but pay attention to the method. The main thing is that the file system is not universal, and the solution is:

1. Format the mobile hard disk as FAT32, and both systems can be used normally. However, a single file cannot be larger than 4GB.

2. If you format the mobile hard disk to NTFS, there is no limit of 4GB for a single file, but Apple does not recognize NTFS. Installing an NTFS mount plug-in on the Mac can be slowed down, such as Paragon NTFS for Mac.

3. If the mobile hard disk formats the HFS file system on Apple and uses it on the PC, in the same way, the PC does not recognize it, and you also need to install a software, such as MacDrive Pro, which can be used normally.

1. As shown in the figure below, a portable hard drive is currently connected to my Mac.

<>3. When we open a portable hard drive with NTFS on Mac, there is no option to "paste" to write when we right-click. Even we want to put it directly.

When you drag files from your Mac in, you can't.

4. There are many third-party software on the Internet, which can allow Mac to write data to the hard disk with NTFS partition, here with Mounty for personal use

5. When we install Mounty on our Mac

6. Next mounty

The software will reload the hard disk and automatically open the hard disk, at this time, we can see the "New Folder" option when we right-click, indicating that we can now write data to the external hard drive.

7. Here I try to drag a ** from the mac to the portable hard disk, and I can see that Jenson has written to the hard disk normally.

Western Digital's mobile hard disk mainly includes green disks, blue disks, black disks, and red disks.

1. The green disk is an environmentally friendly disk, with low comprehensive performance and good continuous transmission performance.

2. The blue disk is a commonly used disk for desktops, and its performance is between the green disk and the blue disk.

3. The black disk has the strongest performance, but the seeking noise during work is also more obvious.

4. The red disk has just been out for a long time, and it supports 7*24 hours of operation, which is very good as a server disk.

When purchasing a branded mobile hard drive, the manufacturer generally comes with some software and tools and copies it to the mobile hard drive to expand the use of the mobile hard drive.

The main tools and software that come with the Western Digital 1T portable hard drive are:

1. The product manual, saved in the user manuals directory.

2. For the Windows version of the Western Digital application, the installation file is located in the WD Applications for Windows directory, which mainly includes the encryption software WD Security, the hard disk tool WD Drive Utility, etc.

3. The installation files of Western Digital applications in the Mac environment are located in the My Passport Apps for Mac directory, which are mainly encryption software WD Security, hard disk tool WD Drive Utility, etc.

If you don't feel that these apps are useful to you, you can delete them altogether.

Dear, this serial number can be found with the following information, not necessarily the original **, at least this should not be sold in China, if you buy it in China, then it may be a parallel import, or a fake with a serial number.
