1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:08,960 So here I am with the My Passport Elite and this is different from the My Book 2 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:12,880 Elite because it is smaller. So you can see the actual package for the My 3 00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:17,279 Passport which is a 2 and 1/2 in drive is actually about the same size as the 4 00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:21,680 entire My Pass My Oh man, this is going to confuse me. My Book Elite that we had 5 00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:25,439 a look at a little while ago. So this is an ultra portable hard drive with a USB 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:28,320 dock. It is a premium backup and storage, which means that it has their 7 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:32,320 their premium backup and storage software. It has all the same sort of 8 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,640 things here. So, it has a three-year limited warranty. It has a drive space 9 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:40,079 indicator, which is pretty cool. It is secure. I I don't know what this means. 10 00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:44,960 I'm guessing they think it's like intelligent or something. That would be 11 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:52,640 my guess. It stores up to 38 hours of HD footage, 80,000 MP3s or 64,000 JPEGs. 12 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:56,399 So, this is a 320 gig drive. Obviously, the 2 and 1/2 in ones are available in 13 00:00:54,559 --> 00:00:59,600 smaller capacities than the 3 and 1/2 in ones. This is all stuff that we're going 14 00:00:58,239 --> 00:01:04,159 to see when we actually open the box. So, why don't we have a look at the back? Automatic continuous backup. 15 00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:09,920 Whenever you add or change a file, it's backed up on the spot. That's pretty cool. It has a drive lock, password 16 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,439 protection with 256-bit hardware encryption. It has an illuminated 17 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,320 capacity gauge. See at a glance how much space is left on your drive, and it has 18 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:23,360 convenient one-hand connection to your computer. One hand connection. That is a 19 00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:27,920 feature that I can't imagine myself needing, but for like my mother, that 20 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,600 would be really good because like connecting things to computers is not 21 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:35,520 her forte. And uh like not like the 22 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:39,920 commercials where she has a Kiaforte and that's her forte, but like not her 23 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:43,840 forte. Like she's really bad at it. If she ever watches this, she's going to 24 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:47,439 totally rage at me, too. All right, here we go. So, we have the drive itself 25 00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:52,159 comes out first. We'll have a look at that in a moment. Then we have some 26 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:56,159 documentation. So, important note to Windows users. Um, it tells you how to 27 00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,479 install the software, which we actually covered in the My Book Elite uh 28 00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:04,560 unboxing. No, that wasn't in the unboxing. That was in the how to set it 29 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:10,479 up video. Then it comes with a little guide that 30 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:12,720 is two steps really. That's it, huh? 31 00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:18,319 Well, there you go. So, you plug in the USB cable and then you run the software. 32 00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:23,440 That was easy. Okay. Then we have the 300 million 33 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:28,800 language technical support and limited warranty guide, which is about the size 34 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:34,160 of your typical wall poster. Oh, no. This one isn't as big. Wow. Okay. It 35 00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:38,599 still has this graph, though. I want to know what that is. Okay. That's not 36 00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:42,360 that's not there in the English version. So, there we 37 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:47,560 go. Uh, I'll figure out how to fold that 38 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:50,480 back up off camera. Then we have a USB 39 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:56,080 cable. So this is just a straight USBA to mini 40 00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:57,840 cable. Then we have a USB dock cable. 41 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,760 Cameraman wants to look at the cable. All right. Here you go. You happy now? 42 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,360 You can see the cable. It's about this long. Yeah. You can't see that. Oh, and 43 00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:08,840 now I took it away. Okay, I'm kidding. Now you can see how long it is. Fine. 44 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:13,440 All right. Then the dot cable is actually 45 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,120 quite a bit longer. So you can see this one is designed more to uh reach around 46 00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:21,519 to the back of your computer and then sit up on your desk kind of thing. So 47 00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:25,680 all right, why don't we have a look at the drive itself because that's what you 48 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:30,480 folks all paid good money to see is the My Passport Elite. So there it is. Oh, 49 00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:34,560 that's quite slick. It's uh very small as you would expect from a 2 and 12 in 50 00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:38,319 drive. It's got a silvery WD logo on the front. Then on this side there is 51 00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:43,040 nothing. And on this side there is nothing. And oh no, that's a USB port. 52 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,280 Sorry, that isn't nothing. And then on this side, there is nothing. And on this 53 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:52,799 side, there is an illuminated capacity LED as well as a little lock um light 54 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:57,360 and then a power indicator as probably an activity LED as well. On the back, it 55 00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:01,120 is labeled my passport. And then there is a serial number and a part number. 56 00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:04,560 So, it's got four little rubberized feet. So, if you're using it on your 57 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,599 desk, you don't actually have to balance it this way. You can just put it down 58 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:12,200 like this. And then if you're using it with the dock, you can see the dock is 59 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:16,720 just a USB port. So you just go like this and plug it in that 60 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:22,320 way. See, it's funny because I was saying my mom isn't good at plugging 61 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:26,000 things in, but then now you look at me trying to do it, it's hard. Oh, I get 62 00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:31,199 it. It's because it goes in at like an angle. It doesn't actually sit like 63 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:36,240 flat. So it doesn't go in like this straight in. It actually like kind of 64 00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:40,160 slides in at sort of this angle there. There. Now I've got it figured out. And 65 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:44,160 why don't we have a look at that from a different angle? Okay, I guess that 66 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:49,639 pretty much covers it. That's my unboxing of the My Passport Elite.
