Is there a PORTABLE external hard drive over 1tb?

Evilep0pta

I have been looking for a replacement for my current portable 1tb external hard drive. I have not found anything larger than 1tb without an ac adapter. I highly prefer Western Digital, but I will take anything at this point as long as it is reliable and fast. Portability is a HUGE requirement.
If there isn't one that you know of, maybe you are aware of some that are planned to come out. Please let me know.

Answer
Drives over 1T usually need a power source as you have found out! there are some that are "portable" but not convenient...something like this perhaps...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822154480

Need help with my portable hard drive!?

Reckinshop

I have a Wester Digital 1TB portable hard drive. I have always used it with my Mac with no problem, I can plug it in and go through all my files in finder. My problem is when I plug it into a windows PC tried with (Windows 7 and XP) it doesn't show up. I know the ports are fine in the PC because my flash drives, mouse, keyboard, act. work through them. Is there a way to make my hard drive work over PC?

I never partitioned it either so it is the same as it came out of the box except iv added movies, music, papers, act. to it.

Answer
Since you used this in your mac it partitioned it to a file system that only the mac can see HFS. You can try reformatting the hard drive using NTFS so that both systems can see the contents of the drive.
