The best external hard drive to backup your photos and videos
Western Digital (WD) has been around for the longest time in the hardware industry and is tipped as a trustworthy tech brand.
Hands up if you're one of those people who keep thousands of photos and videos on their smartphone until it runs out of storage space. I must admit, I fall into that category as well, until I started porting my everyday selfies, travel photos and videos onto Google Drive. That method itself would help for the time being, but it also set me back at S$2.79/monthly for 100GB of storage space.
Why not consider an external hard drive without the frills of a subscription service?

Western Digital My Passport Portable Hard Drive, 2TB
Western Digital has been around for the longest time in the hardware industry and is tipped as a trustworthy tech brand. This 2TB external hard disk has more than enough capacity to contain all of your large files and can keep your data safe with password-enabled 256-bit AES hardware encryption and a simple backup to your drive or cloud service account. The device also comes with a three-year warranty.
The hard disk has a bold, metal design that is tough enough to handle whatever comes your way, and it comes in a beautiful, striking black colour. It also comes designed in other colours like blue and grey, and is enclosed in a compact sleek metal design.
Design-wise
The all-black colour makes the device look striking. The external hard disk fits in your palm well – measures about 2.95 inches in width and 0.44 inches in height – and doesn't look clunky. It weighs about two kilograms and can fit in your work bag easily.
What shoppers say
Satisfied customers love its fast performance, especially the transfer speed. However, you should note that it comes with a short cable and it's easier to pair with your laptop on a flat surface.
Another customer also noted it has a flimsy connection port.
One satisfied customer raved: "Very fast delivery. Small and portable great for backup."
