I store & backup my data all on external drives, including my VMS video projects/data and I've used 500GB Western Digital My Book drives to do so. Never had any performance problems.
However I'd like to move to the 500GB Western Digital My Passport drives, simply because they don't need a power cord (they're powered off the USB) and so they're incredibly portable and easy to plug/unplug . However, I'm concerned about performance.
So the question is, does anyone have experience editing VMS projects & video data that is stored on a WD My Passport drive, and if so, does it perform ok for editing?
