    After looking for several external hard drives I went with this product. Great price, plenty of memory space for my needs and super easy set up.

    Bought to run backups on my laptop.

    It seems to work ok; however, even though I installed the WD backup program, the laptop still wants to run backups using DVD- discs, even after I run a WD backup. The WD program didn't stop that, even though I thought I changed the settings in windows 10. I can use it like a BIG USB flash drive. After buying, I saw I could have gotten one twice as large (2 TB) for $20.00 more - really don't need it though.

    I've been paying a monthly fee for document storage on Drop Box. which was bvery pragmatic for sharing big files while i was still working. Now that I've retired, I wanted to keep my files but no longer need massive file exchanges with colleagues, so i ducked into Best Buy one night, got a recommendation for this baby from a Blue Shirt, & I was in & out in under 30 minutes for under 60 bucks. No monthly fees for my fixed income retired life anymore! This works like a charm & I still have lots of space for storing megafiles from my home PC.

    Great Little Hard Drive

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was looking for a portable hard drive to back up important files and pictures that were on my desktop computer. This one fit the bill. It is small enough so I can put it in lockbox for added security if I want to and it will hold more stuff than I probably could amass. It was on sale which made it another added bonus. My "tech skills" are about average, so I had a little difficulty with the setup. It wasn't really that hard, it was just that I was over thinking everything. I also liked that I could get it a color other than black. All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase.

    For decades I have been diligent about backing up my systems at work, but not at home. I've been lucky and not lost anything, but I was just lucky. I bought the Passport, and it didn't take long ot setup an automated backup of my laptop. Great device.

    I bought this to expand my ps4 storage. It is small and tucks away simply. It formatted and items were transferred easily. I now have plenty of room to install or download even more games in the future. I plan on buying a larger one in the future for my desktop computer.

    I purchased this to store my papers and projects on while in med school and let me just say it’s a lifesaver. Stored everything I needed for presentations and to print out when I couldn’t connect my laptop to the school computer while away from home.

    Always running out of storage on my PS$ so decided to give the WD passport a shoot. Work great, I have all my game saved to it and the run without any problems and they load fast. This is a great option if you want to expand the storage on your PS4

    I bought this for my XBox and nothing could have been easier to configure/format. Using this drive is seemless and allows me to download a lot of games and simply play off the drive. I can’t really tell any difference from playing off the internal hard drive vice the passport. I keep it plugged in via the included USB. It’s 1TB is double the 500 GB internal drive on the XBox. If I downloaded every game available for free I could fill up this drive but haven’t come close by downloading just the games that I want to play the most.
