Does the WD Nomad Rugged Case have internal storage space for both the WD My Passport drive and the USB cable, or only for the drive?

No it does not, it fits the WD Passport very snugly. The USB cable is plug in via an outside connector through the rugged case and on to the WD Passport.

Only for the drive. The hard drive itself comes with a fabric pouch for the cable.

This case is a little larger than the WD My Passport line of drives. I have the 2TB MP drive, and it does fit with room left over.

Yes, as long as your drive uses a USB connection. I used my WD My Passport external drive to save recordings I wanted to keep permanently.

No, that drive is a bit too tall for this case. The WD drives tend to be a little shorter.

I drag and drop my doc, picture and video files. Every fortnight I empty my camera's SD card; create a new folder (date as the folder name) on WD My Passport and transfer the stuff from the camera/mobile to that folder via the USB cable. I do not back up.

This WD drive works with the nomad rugged case, ASIN B00505EZZ6, $39.95 to protect it in extreme conditions, but for normal rugged conditions a Drive Logic DL-64 EVA HD Case (black), ASIN B003VVH8Y6. $9.95 w/free shipping, will do just as good. Check both then decide.

I don't know. I purchased the Roll over image to zoom in WD My Passport 500GB Portable External Hard Drive Storage USB 3.0 Blue (WDBKXH5000ABL-NESN) and it fits perfectly. You'll have to compare dimensions. The case however is a 10 out of 10 for my needs.

It is a WD Scorpio Blue (SATA 3 Gb/s): http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=506But newer revisions of the WD Passport seem to be unsuitable for use without the enclosure.See: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=307430

It fits but it is very tight when it closes. There's a chance this is warping the case ever so slightly, which could affect the internal mechanics of the drive. I suspect that's the reason WD doesn't sell these cases any more, namely, they are unsuitable for the newer passport drives.

:) No, it is a just schematic picture of the mechanical HDD. Bare means it's a HDD which should be installed in NAS or PC. It is not an external disk like a WD Passport.

I found an article that said the Element has 8Gb buffer while the Passport has 2Gb. The Element would therefore transfer and locate files faster. This was an older review thought that only compared the USB 2.0 so not sure how accurate it is today.

I assume any standard drive would fit. I currently have a 1 TB WD Black in my case.

I dunno if it's a formatting thing, but I tried to plug in my portable 120GB external drive, and it blanked. My 1GB stick came up with a menu though, so there's gotta be a size limit somewhere, I just don't know where it it.

A 2 TB WD My passport does Not fit--even though this case is shown as an add-on for the device.

I looked up a disassembly video for the Passport Ultra, and it seems that the USB 3.0 port is attached directly to the circuitboard of the harddrive. it doesnt seem like the internal drive of the Passport is a regular SATA HDD which is what The Sabrent enclosure is. TL;DR : no

It does, but I do not recommend buying!! I have had much better luck with a "WD My Passport" harddrive.
