Western Digital 1tb USB Powered External Hard Drive: What More Could You Ask for?
August 9th, 2009
Western Digital recently introduced the Essential SE edition of their popular My Passport USB-powered external hard drives. The My Passport Essential SE comes in two sizes, 750GB and 1TB, with the same slim and simple case as the other My Passport drives. And did I say they’re USB-powered?
Seriously: A terabyte’s worth of data in your (cargo pants’) pocket. According to Western Digital’s estimates, that’s equivalent to 200,000 pictures, or 250,000 mp3 files, or 380 hours of DVD quality video, or 120 hours of HD quality video. And Western Digital is sure that the 1TB drive is worth $300 (USD). Unfortunately, even though the press release says that the 1TB drive is already available online, I can’t seem to find a store that’s selling it. Fortunately for those who reckon they don’t need the extra 250GB, the 750GB drive is available at Western Digital’s online store for a much cheaper $200.

why cant you exchange info between the two?
Dear, I am having 1TB USB HDD and want to play the movies copied in it on my USB supported DVD Player. I am unable to play it, kindly help or write about the DVD player which can support 1TB HDD USB.
I think your problem is that your DVD player doesn’t have the necessary software to play your movies. You’d be better off with a media player like WD TV or Xtreamer.
Hi RATAN,
Try checking how your DVD player supports playback.
Some DVD players are unable to play any media if they are in sub-folders (apart from the root folder).
Try placing your media in the root folder eg: E:\
I had the same problem with my LG Scarlett TV, until I moved all my media.
Hope it helps..
RATAN ,
the problem is that DVD Player does not recognises any format other than FAT32.
No FAT 32 partition can be greater than 40 GB. SO, you need to create few partitions with fat32 and then the prtition is accessible to dvd player
