What case goes well with the WD Passport 2 TB? Just wanted to know which case goes best with this drive. I'd prefer a hard case that doesn't fit too snugly.

AmazonBasics Hard Carrying Case for My Passport Essential - Black fits great with the usb.

Honestly, it's a tight fit if you try to fit it with the 1TB Passport. I honestly never have to open the case up at all.........I just leave the cable plugged in and neatly wrap it around and through a small carabiner I attached to the case loop. Two of my coworkers on the ship ordered the same case after looking at mine because they liked it so much. I recommend it for protection from your hard drive breaking or erasing if you were to drop it.

This is not the right cable for a WD My Book Essential. For that drive you just need a standard USB 2.0 cable. The drive uses a Mini USB connector, so a cable like this one should work for you: Belkin F3U138-06 Pro Series USB 5-Pin Mini-B Cable (6-Feet) (The USB 3.0 cable you asked about does work great for WD Passport USB 3 drives however.)

I use the hub with multiple WD external drives which have USB 3 connectors. If the Ultra 2TB drive has a USB 3 connection, then it will work. I checked the Amazon listings for details and the WD _My_ Passport drives (regardless of size) all have USB 3 interfaces. That means they will work with this hub.Note, to take fullest advantage of the USB 3 speed, you will need to plug the hub into an USB 3 port on your computer. Otherwise, the speed will be that of the port.

I use a 4TB drive in mine with Windows 7. It works great. Solid case. I love it.

There's something wrong with the size description of the WD 2TB My Passport Studio on the Amazon web page. I have one and it measures roughly5" x 3-3/8" x 1". I'm going to give it a shot. I'll re-post if it doesn't work out.This case, the Case Logic PHDC-1, fits the WD 2TB My Passport Studio Portable drive as if it were made for it! Beautiful marriage. See my photo.

Not sure, I actually used this for a friend and no longer have this item. I will say that I've used this item several times with a couple different manufacturers (WD, Seagate, etc.) and have not had an issue with any of the HDD not fitting. Hope this helps.

I'm not 100% sure, because I don't have your exact drive, but based on the three WD Passport drives I have, it should fit perfectly!

I actually returned this HD. Wasn't reliable and would read on and off. I had a Mac though.I prefer the passport 2TB. Much smaller/more reliable

Technically it is not compatible. The case shuts just right with no resistance to the older Passport drives that went up to 1TB. The 2TB are a bit thicker. Maybe if you removed rubber bumpers inside, but then, what's the point of having a case if you are removing protection? From the Western Digital site: Compatible models include: WDBKXHxxxx, WDBBEPxxxx, WDBACYxxxx, WDBAAAxxxx, WDBACXxxxx, WDBABMxxxx, WDBAACxxxx, WDBAABxxxx, WDBGCHxxxx, WDBL1Dxxxx, WDBABWxxxx, WDBBXVxxxx

Dan...I'm afraid I don't know. I've only put the 1TB WD MyPassport in it. If the Seagate you're interested in has the same or smaller dimensions, then you'll be just fine. There isn't a lot of extra room in the case for a much larger drive.

Hp answers a lot of questions on line. If you already own the drive, cases for external hard drives are inexpensive.

I assume any standard drive would fit. I currently have a 1 TB WD Black in my case.

Ryan: I am very interested in finding a case, possibly one with a slot load drive. I read you mentioned a case you found but where's the picture of the case? I would love to see it if you could please provide me a link or photo. Thanks so much. -cindy

I have been using a 512MB flash drive and recently purchased the WD Passport 60 GB. I have noticed that I can't drag and drop or save into the "F:WD Passport" like I can with a flash drive. The file has to be saved somewhere first then synchronized. Is there a way to bypass this?

You have two internal hard drives? Not many computers have that. It wouldn't be possible to say which is the quickest without knowing the transfer speeds of both drives. It may not be a significant difference anyways. The edge the external drive would have is that you can easily and quickly remove it and connect it to another computer if something catastrophic happened to your computer. Another thing- as far as I can tell there was no backup software included for the Passport so you'll need to rely on your computer's backup software. That's probably not a factor. In the end it's probably apples and oranges whether you go with an internal or external drive. Personally, I prefer the portability of an external drive. Good luck with your purchase.

WD says that greens will work and nothing else. I have a feeling that has to do with the lower power consumption. I have heard horror stories about green drives and WD software has said my drives have gone bad, but the drives read and write just fine. I love the raid setup and dont know why anyone else hasn't continued this setup at this price point ( I bought mine used for a little less than $100)
