    Bought this while it was on sale because games such as Modern warfare, RDR2, Star Wars battlefront and more games are just getting bigger that 1TB is not enough anymore. This is a great choice for anyone trying to get expandable easy storage for the price. On sale right now as of June 23rd,2020 for $105, normally $170. If you need space period this is the WAY TO GO!

    Incredibly fast drive! I got this for my Mac to use with Time Machine. Absolutely loved it. I was expecting to do a full system back up (256GB) and let it sit over night on my 2014 MacBook Pro -- it was finished within 2.5 hours. It was amazing. Super easy to format via Disk Utility -- I even made some other partitions. Great price, great product.

    This WD is ok, but beware of some of these "secure" external drives! Some of them use hardware encryption, performed by a small circuit board inside the case along with the hard drive. If the contents are encrypted and that board fails you are in for a headache. I usually get the Seagate expansion drives. No fancy software, no built in password protections, etc just plug it in and use it. I think the passport is one I wouldn't recommend.

    Quiet, low temperature. Before the purchase my concern is that the heat dissipation might be an issue. Probably I should buy the clumsy hard driver with exteranl power cord. No, you need that. This portable harddrive is good enough for regular customers unless you are transferring 5T files here and there every single day.
