Western Digital claims to have created the first truly all-in-one back-up system with the release of the MyPassport Essential 500GB. Instead of buying an external hard disk and going to the trouble of setting up a third-party application such as Acroni...

We were the first in Australia to get our hands on the new WD Passport Essential. The main alteration from previous versions is the more compact design - which now comes in a range of shiny colours. It's a full 3cm shorter in length than the previous m...
