Photogs and Mac users, rejoice.\u00a0 Now there\u2019s a device that\u2019s going to make your life a whole lot more pleasant. I\u2019m referring to the new speed demon My Passport Pro 4TB<\/span> portable drive from Western Digital. If you\u2019re ready to witness the Ferrari of photo transfer speeds, read on.<\/p>\n

\"Western<\/a>My Passport Pro = speed demon<\/strong><\/p>\n

With cameras shooting the highest megapixels sizes ever and the size of the new 4K video camera files, it becomes more and more important to be able to transfer data at the highest possible speeds. Combine Apple\u2019s Thunderbolt and the My Passport Pro and you\u2019ve got the fastest throughput currently possible.<\/p>\n

A typical HD movie is about 22GB and with the My Passport Pro, you\u2019ll be able to transfer it in under two minutes. Got lots of high bitrate MP3 files?\u00a0 How about moving 2,000 of them in 45 seconds.\u00a0 That\u2019s fast, actually up to 233MB\/s fast.<\/p>\n

My Passport Pro = security<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to the speed, My Passport Pro 4TB is actually dual 2TB drives that are set up in RAID 1 formation.\u00a0 Always having two copies of your files is a very secure feeling.\u00a0 For those with monstrous data needs, you can opt for RAID 0 for high performance and the full 4TB of storage.<\/p>\n

Both 2.5 inch hard drives are shock tested to assure reliability.<\/p>\n

<\/center>My Passport Pro = bus powered<\/strong><\/p>\n

Typically, dual drive setups require a wall-wart plug for power and that limits their usefulness on the road.\u00a0 Finding a single outlet is sometimes an effort and finding two makes life just that much tougher. Who needs tough?<\/p>\n

My Passport Pro is strictly bus-powered, so the simple Thunderbolt connection is all the power you\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n

Put them all together and you have a compelling reason to consider My Passport Pro<\/span> for your workflow.<\/p>\n
