Windows To Go is the portable version of Windows 8 to be run on USB devices similar to running Linux OSes on optical discs and USB devices. We know that the Windows To Go will freeze for a minute before shutting down if you remove the USB device but I don’t know of the technical consequence if you remove the USB device that is running the Linux OSes. So introducing the first portable hard disk from Western Digital to run Windows To Go, My Passport Enterprise.
It may seem that it is for enterprise use and it is assumed to be freaking expensive compared to those portable hard disks that cost from <$100-$100+. You can use this at work as well as at home for maximum portability whenever you go but be careful, since this is the USB device running the OS itself, it may be vulnerable like you or someone may end up plugging it off without knowing that it is actually running the OS. So what should you do? Do you watch out for some fan-tards or something during your activity over some operating system or perhaps do you invent a custom large slot on the desktop computer just for portable USB hard drives like you can stick one in there so that they can be less vulnerable? For the second option, it should be but then the USB cable can be a problem to fit in if that’s the case like inserting a cartridge-like hard disk drive into the NAS device. The problem is, how can you connect and disconnect like that? It may be why you should take good care of the USB devices while they’re connected to the computer. Of course, the mistakes may happen one day so be careful of that.
There’s also the BitLocker full disk encryption and I guess that the portable Windows 8 OS is based on Enterprise edition or so and that’s what it drives us, good data security.
