Tweet

Western Digital have release the latest iterations of its seemingly ever enduring My Passport portable USB hard drive range with the addition of the new Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 750GB and 1TB capacity models (known specifically as the model number WDMET7500 and WDMET10000 respectively).

The new 750GB and 1TB capacity My Passport Essential SE hard drives come with a new ‘titanium silver finish’ and, apart from offering what WD refers to as ‘big capacity that fits in your pocket’ come with 128-bit encryption capabilities (Windows based systems only) as well as data syncing and, thanks to drawing power solely from you computer’s USB port you won’t have to lug an AC adapter around with you (which is undoubtedly a bonus).

“The enormous capacity of these new My Passport Essential SE drives makes them the perfect travel-friendly storage device to hold all the rich media content generated by higher resolution photos and HD videos and music,” said Dale Pistilli, vice president of marketing for WD’s branded products group. “Carrying digital files close at hand continues to be a growing consumer interest and this new drive offers a sleek and stylish solution with plenty of storage capacity for people on the move.”

Both of the new 750GB and 1TB capacity Western Digital My Passport Essential SE portable hard drives are available as of now and will set you back around $200 and $300 respectively.
