Can I use it for storing and using my genealogy files?
I do genealogy research and want to know if I can put my family files here and work with them the same as on an internal drive? This would save a lot of flash drives.
Yes, you can use the Passport to store your family files as a back up, and use the same files on your internal drive.
The only thing to remember is if you make changes to the files on the internal drive, you should also "Back-Up" the same files to the external drive, thus always having a current "Back-Up" on the external drive.
You can do this manually, or you can have it done automatically with software. Windows has software to do that, and there are also excellent free and commercial software to handle that as well.
The Passport should have also come with software to assist in automatically "Backing-Up" your data.
