    Its light n strong! And works great with my MAC! Better choose Seagate if you are confused between Seagate and WD Passport!

    This drive has a lot of storage space for backing up my laptop. I haven't had any problems using it, it connects very quickly and expect it will last many years. I have found that WD drives have always been very reliable and I've never had any problems with any of their drives which I have bought in the past.

    Ultra Portable HDD

    So far so good. I've only had the ex hdd for about a week, but so far it's been backing up my Macbook Pro without any hiccups. Plug n play right out of the box. Data transfer rates are as advertised. Being that it's an HDD and not a SSD, it's not super fast and doesn't utilize USB 3.0 to its full potential, but it's more than acceptable for what it is. Time Machine backup works flawlessly. Hope it keeps playing as nice as it has been. Price to performance ratio renders it a good value.

    Our old hard drive back-up died, ostensibly due to age. This is a replacement, at a good price, which is doing the job.

    This one is faster than my old one. This is more robust than WD which stopped working after i dropped it on the floor.

    I am using this for my MacBook only(cause I can't use it on a Windows), but it does what it says it does. Nice a sleek looking. Haven't tried to recover anything cause I haven't needed to though.
