    Simple and easy to use, this method of back up was recommended by a friend and I'm glad I listened! An inexpensive way to be sure you have backup available any time you choose. Just plug it in!

    The external drive did exactly what it was supposed to at a very affordable price. No nonsense storage; held my data from a dying laptop for transfer to my new desktop with no questions asked.

    I purchased this item on the recommendation of a Geek Squad member. I know very little about computers. It was very easy to install, plugged it in and downloaded the program. No problems what so ever.

    Having had a computer break down and losing a lot of data, we bought the external drive as insurance against another problem. We haven't needed to use it, but it's good knowing we're protected.

    Great storage device for backup, or additional storage for pictures etc... I like to keep extra copies of stuff in case of hdd failure - it has happened too many times to not have everything backed up!

    This is for my son. He asked the clerk what to get and was given a brief tutorial on which ones suited which purpose. We were given what we needed. Not oversold. It was easy to install. Working perfectly.

    I bought one of these specifically for my Nvidia Shield TV, to store all of the retro games to play on it. The WD Passport has worked like it's supposed to with no issues. It's fast and quiet as well.

    I bought this to backup both Windows and an Ubuntu system and it works great on both. I think I'm going to buy another one so both my systems will have their own dedicated backup drives now.
