Element is just a hard drive. Passport comes with backup and encryption software.
In case anyone is wondering, these are non-shuckable. I should know. Too bad Costco's Seagate deal is over - those are.
Passport comes with Back up and Encryption software. If those are important, then it's worth getting the Passport. If not, then Elements is more budget friendly.

I believe last week deal was for 5TB WD Elements USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive. This is WD passport.

Do you happen to know if they have the exact same drive inside them?

As per WD community discussion, the inside hardware is the same.

What cable work with this external drive? Is it USB to USB, or is it still the weird proprietary end to USB?

Additionally, is there any way to use this with iPad or iPhone without buying apple's camera adapter?

Seems odd that they have the same drives inside, but different warranty periods (2yrs for the element and 3yrs for this one).
