My computer was at Geek Squad because it suddenly wouldn't come up to desktop. I knew from previous Geek Squad visits, that my files needed to be backed up. I asked them for something like a Passport and I got just what I wanted. It's a small 1 TB hard drive that works really well.

Easy to use. Compact size is convenient. Can be used with PC or Mac. It comes formatted for PC, so If you need to use it with a Mac, change the format before storing any any files.

This was so easy to purchase, connect and utilize for a 12yo. Made his Stormworks program function much better and he is able to save everything he makes without fear of frustrations without always having enough room

The portable hard drive was a great price and provided more than I even needed. This is super small, but packs a really big savings and offers much more than expected. I would recommend everyone I know to use this personally or for a small business.

The old one I had was from 2006. Amazing that it had finally become dated with my PS5 this year! 20 years is a long time for any electronics. Not sure if this one will last that long but I am just happy if it makes it a fraction of that time since we're using newer technology and hardware.

Holds a lot of files and is easy to operate. I backed up all my documents and photos, as I am an author. For the price and the tiny size, it works great. I haven't tried to make changes yet but it seems easy to operate. I recommend it.

i don't really buy hard drives to store unimportant material - does anyone? So when I need reliability over the years through several purchases and other failed drives I've learned (pr noticed rather) that Western Digital is the one brand of drive I still have going on years and years of storage and use. They seem to last, and that cannot be a coincidence. I won't buy any other brand. This particular model is great, highly portable and lightweight. Fits nicely in any bag I take to travel or when I'm mobile with work. Built with durability in mind and they last. I have over 6 of these in regular use and only had one fail on me in over a decade.

All our instructors run their classes off of portable hard drives so no matter what computer they might be using, they have access to all their information to run a smooth class. These devices run fast enough for playback of video with no hang up. They are small enough for storing in their computer bags that have little storage space. They are durable (I wouldn't drop it off of a building though). They get a little warm after reading/writing large files, but not where I feels it impedes its ability to still read/write at its optimal speed. I like WD when it comes to there large capacity storage devices.
