I cam across some of the drive but i decided to either My Passport Essential or My Passport Elite.But i am still confused in these to drives as i dont know much for them. Could you guys suggest me which can the best for me among this ?
What i can say is both drives are almost similar.My Passport portable USB drives which are designed to carry half a terabyte of music, videos or photos in the palm of your hand.
