Verdict
The Western Digital My Book Passport Essential manages to mix business with pleasure, as it's a great little device to carry around but when you need it to perform it more than delivers and for that, it gets our recommendation.
The worlds most popular portable drive is now smaller than ever. And it's smarter than ever with automatic, continuous backup software and password protection.
