I wanted a hard disk to backup my life! All my photos, songs and video collections. So I started researching to buy the best one. I found that in some sites WD Passport was #1 and this one was #2. But I chose this product for this ruggedness(so-called military scale protection) which is very important to me.
Everything is perfect. I don’t expect more than that.
It comes with FAT 32 file system. So as the first thing to do, format it to NTFS(or better EXT 4 if you don’t need Windows compatibility.)
It comes with an official data recovery tool called "RecoverX" but it’s a Windows only software so I had to keep the file system as NTFS:(
Yes it comes with a cable that has 2 USB Y endpoints. But it doesn’t mean it "requires" both cable. You can just use it with one USB. The other one is provided in cases where you can’t get full 5V(like if you use an old pc.) So having two USB is actually better than other drives providing only one. I just use both cables to be safe. It doesn’t kill me.:)
