    I wanted storage for my photos. I was unable to put any photos in it. It asked me to download the software. The software seemed to promote upgrades. When I tried to access the software it crashed my browser. I kept trying to make it work. No help from WD. I returned it too late for a refund. The first one they sold me was $45.00. The second one that the salesperson told me didn't require software was an additional $10.00. The second one did the exact same thing as the first. I have a $55.00 store credit with no other brand available at this time.

    This worked pretty well. I got it for my iPad, but it doesn’t come with a USB-C cord. Had to use one from another device.

    We replaced our old WD Passport with this model. It works, but still experiencing some of the same issues. We have to try twice consecutively to get it to start a backup. Then, when the backup is done, we try to "disconnect" the device properly, and it usually tells us it is still working when it isn't.
