Western Digital My Passport Wireless 1TB Portable External Hard Drive
- I like this product for its capacity and being wireless.
- This unit performed flawlessly. This drive works well and has lot of space.
- With 1TB capacity it is capable to carry all my music, pictures, videos. Installation is easy and the W-LAN is stable.

What customers say about "Features"
Seagate STDC500400 Wireless Mobile Portable Hard Drive Storage
- I have connected this to my laptop (USB and wireless), Nexus 7, iPad, iPhone, and Kindle Fire. And all of them works fine.
- Transferring data is easiest through the USB connection with the laptop, but can be done via wi-fi.
- It is a great addition to an iPod or iPhone and has worked great in car for keeping job information and data for my job.
- The battery life is reasonable and I have no issues with connecting the wifi.
- The Seagate apps were useless and the wireless thing wasn't happening at all.
Western Digital My Passport Wireless 1TB Portable External Hard Drive
- It has an SD card "plug" which I leave in just for a little extra security in terms of not getting debris inside it.
- It automatically copied only the new photos. We shoot in JPEG and RAW at the same time. It copied both images.
- Once the files are copied to the Passport, you can review them on your IPad at full screen with their App. Love this device.
- Slow WiFi Performance and SD Card Copies. Disappointed with this device.
- I connected to my computer via wireless and changed the network name and added a password. After that I could never connect via my Android.
