Theyre happening more and more often too, as weve observed this year.Western Digital embraced this trend, and got started with their brand new image and product.This is their brand new My Passport Lumen, also known as the WD My Passport (2016).Comes with a quick start guide, user manual, a short micro USB 3.0 cable, and the redesigned WD My Passport itself.
The brand new design of the WD My Passport (2016) has the same look as the WD My Book (2016) where the top half is made out of highly glossy and reflective plastic, and a matte plastic bottom half with these streamlines going across the entire enclosure. There might be a reason to this, as glossy plastic can get scratches very easily even micro-scratches. Hence, Ill need to either get some sort of protective film which will degrade its beauty or getting a case, which will only minimize, and not fully prevent any scratches. That means it is fully compatible with Windows-based machines, but not on Macs. Launch up Disk Management on Windows or Disk Utility on Mac, then select and format the WD My Passport (2016) to exFAT. You get the WD Backup, WD Drive Utilities, and WD Security, and all of these applications installers are already copied in the My Passport itself. WD Sync and WD Backup does more or less the same thing, so why not combine them both together. Aesthetically, no other external hard disk can beat it and definitely not the rubber-encased Transcend StoreJet 25H3 that weve reviewed here. Sure, there are some real issues regarding the shininess and durability of the highly glossy plastic and extra care is needed, but I think its worth it. Theyre already in retailers nationwide, so go to your nearest mall and pick one up for yourself or maybe for someone special this Christmas.
