The Western Digital My Passport Pro has the wireless 802.11ac technology. The 802.ac is an improvement on the older 802.11n. It delivers speed ranging from 433 Mbps (megabits per second) to several gigabits per second. For those who don’t understand all the jargons, the numbers 802.11ac and 802.11n are wireless network standards. All you need to know is that with the 802.11ac technology, you get a faster (up to a dozen times faster than the older 802.11n) and quiet (no interference from neighboring Wi-Fi) internet connection. This is what My Passport Pro provides.

With a battery life of 10 hours and a milliampere-hour of 6,400, this device can comfortably serve its original purpose of backing up your data and also take up the daunting task of a power pack. It can charge your mobile devices and yet not stop backing up your data. This helps you travel light since you practically have a one-stop device in your hand.

It also has a provision for USB transfers, especially for those of your friends who are anti-change and anti-modernization. You could just humor them and allow them to do the normal USB transfer. It’s USB 3.0, so it promises to be fast. My Passport Pro could also serve as a Wi-Fi base, allowing you to connect more than one device to a single internet connection; it allows you to connect 3 different devices, all at the same time.

For those interested in pictures professionally or semi-professionally, listen up.

Apple, an American multinational company, is currently one of the biggest things in the design, development, and sale of electronics, computer software, and online services. It’s well-known for its hardware products, not excluding the iPhone smartphone, the iPad tablet, the Mac personal computer, the iPod portable media player, and the Apple Watch smart watch. It also provides software such as the Mac OS and iOS operating systems, the iTunes media player, and the Safari web browser.

The AirPort Time Capsule serves as a super-fast Wi-Fi base station. Connect it to your single internet connection and then connect your device; this can be your iPhone, iPad, and even Apple television. It allows you to browse the internet as speedily as possible using just one internet connection.

It has a simultaneous dual band. That is, it is capable of transmitting two different frequency ranges: 2.4GHZ (Gigahertz) and 5GHZ. This is pretty normal for a modern Wi-Fi network. However, what is beautiful about this hard drive is that it will automatically connect to the best available frequency to give you the best performance possible, irrespective of the band your device uses.

On the issue of backing up your data, you only have to set up the connection between your device and the hard drive once. Thenceforth, it automatically backs up all your new files and the changes you make on existing files. It eliminates the stress of repeating the connection process every other time. For Mac OS X (Operating System), the AirPort Time Capsule works with the Time machine on the Mac Operating System to automatically and, of course wirelessly, back up your files and even your apps and OS X settings.

The AirPort Time Capsule allows you to connect your printer and print your documents directly. It comes with Gigabit Ethernet ports, if you would rather do a wired transaction. It’s fast as well, so there is no problem with that. The ports are also what you will connect your printer to.

Space is not a problem with this hard drive because aside from the fact that it comes with 3- and 2-Terabyte memory space, the AirPort Time Capsule condenses backed-up images as they get older. You don’t lose your images nor run out of space.

Toshiba Corporation is a Japanese company based in the city of Tokyo, Japan. It provides various products and services in the areas of information and communication technology, electronics and semi-conductors, power, industrial and social infrastructure, consumer electronics, household appliances, medical equipment, office equipment, and the list goes on! It was founded in 1939 through the merger of Shibaura Seisaku-Sho and Tokyo Denki and has, since then, dedicated itself to the production of frontline products and services. Its slogan, “leading innovation” recognizes and is in agreement with the obvious giant strides the Toshiba Corporation has made, not just in Japan, but all over the world.

The Toshiba Canvio AeroCast is compatible with practically any device: iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, and Android devices. Macs and Personal Computers with Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, and Mac Operating System 10.6.1 are not left out.

It has an interesting feature called the Internet Pass-Through Mode. What this does is it allows you to connect your device to the wireless hard drive for the backup of your files and still connect that same device to the internet. This feature makes sure that whatever you’re doing with/on your hard drive does not obstruct your separate internet connection. So, your device—that is your phone, tablet, or system—can multitask comfortably.

Using its Google Cast Ready app, you can show the pictures, listen to the songs, and stream the videos stored in the Canvio AeroCast on a High Definition television. Instead of a remote control now, you control the happenings on your television with your smartphone or tablet via a Chrome Cast Media Streaming device that’s sold separately. Go ahead and feel like a tech-savvy boss even if you aren’t.

You can connect up to six different devices to this hard drive at the same time via its own internal Wi-Fi connection; you don’t need an internet connection to do whatever you want to do. Attached to it is an SD card slot. You could decide to leave your stuff on your SD card, but use the Canvio AeroCast as a host for when you want to print or cast your documents or media library. It works too.

• The Toshiba Canvio Slim 1 TB Portable External Hard Drive that is both beauty and brains; it does its job and looks chic while doing it

You don’t just store your files and then it’s bye-bye. Once you’re connected, you can easily view your files—photos, music, movies, books, etc.—from your smartphone, tablet, or system. You could also use the FileHub Plus as a medium. If you want to share different files to more than one device, you can even save time by connecting all the devices to the FileHub. It then serves as the unifying ground for you to send the files to the different devices at the same time.

Not only do you connect several devices to the FileHub Plus so that all the devices can access the drive’s content; you also do that so that all the devices can share a single internet connection. Via the Bridge Mode, you are saved the hassle of getting different Wi-Fi adapters for your different devices. Connect your FileHub Plus to the internet connection and it serves as a bridge, extending that one connection to your different devices.

Further, this device weighs practically nothing, making it easy to slip in your pocket or backpack and go just about anywhere. This is good news because aside from all the above-mentioned things this hard drive can do, it also serves as a power pack. It has a 6000mAh battery that will make it perform its original functions and still charge your mobile device. Your travel load has just been lightened.
