What customers say about "Key Specs"

Seagate STDC500400 Wireless Mobile Portable Hard Drive Storage

Seagate makes a very simple product and with good storage capacity.
Really great product with lot of space, good speed and the app functions well.
I love this small device. It's 500G, and I like to travel with this.
Initial setup was not difficult, it offers 500GB, and it's a nice design.
That device is amazing. The possibility to store up to 500GB of media in portable device is awesome.

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.
There are huge capacity, but loading the music/movies is very fast with the USB 3.0 function.
The downside is that it's a little big/heavy for its capacity and it doesn't automatically back up files.

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.
