    For all my client back up needs where storage space is critical, I always recommend WD Hard Drives. This passport Model just happens to be my favorite color too :)

    Does the job. Never had to reformat. Wouldn't be without one. Easy to take with you. Would suggest a case just to be safe with any passport purchase.

    So far it's working fine, bought this unit a couple of weeks ago. Easy to set up and schedule automatic back ups. It's worth the piece of mind to know that the data is there just in case of a crash.

    If you are looking for high performance, you want to consider something else. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money to get a lot of storage to back up pictures, videos, etc, then I highly recommend this product. It is exactly what I was looking for at a price I was willing to pay.

    I like having all my files on an external hard drive so I can access them on either of my computers. The files are easy to access and I feel safer with them not being on the computer.

    Plugged in from the box. Drive did everything from there and has been unobtrusive since then. I bought it for peace of mind after a scare over non-backed up files.

    My wife needed something to move her music from one place to another and this device is a great way to do it for a minimal amount. We store everything on it as a backup and it's great.

    I have the 1TB as well as a 3TB that I use with my Xbox One. Quiet, lightweight, takes up almost no space. Solid choice for anyone looking for some extra storage space.
