    Because my computer has a small solid state drive, I purchased this hard drive to send all of my processed data to it as I work. This hard drive does the trick.

    I really like this external hard drive. It makes backing up my computer so much faster. Now I have peace of mind that I will not lose anything in my computer.

    We were us to external storage devices but nothing compares to this. We're able to backup all of our pictures and other files we choose.

    We've used this to store photos and other media on so we can quickly grab it and go if we needed to leave the house in an emergency. It's a backup for our backups

    I assumed I would be able to plug this in right away and use it. That wasn't the case I had to go to the website and figure out how to format it before I could even use it. I own other ones with this brand and never had to do this format. Overall it works for my photo storage and is lightweight.

    I made this purchase because my laptap crashed and I lost the files that I had saved. I'm not into the Icloud storage craze so this portable hard drive was my preference. Setup was easy.

    I needed extra memory for my desktop and this Hard Drive was recommended by a Best Buy associate. Basically this is a USB plug and play set-up. Could not be easier and all my files are backed up. Also have the advantage of being portable, unplug it and put it in your pocket and your files go with you.

    I bought this to back up my pictures, the price was great for the size of the hard drive. My only concern is the plug is a weird connector that is not standard.

    I definitely recommend WD to back up your data from your PS4, computer or other device. 1TB is plenty of storage and the 3.0 USB transfer is amazingly fast.

    This is my 2nd Passport. I recommend that, if you're using one as an external drive to save room on your device, that you buy a 2nd one just for full backups. It's the safest way to ensure that all data is retrievable. The unit is a little challenging on initial setup but very user friendly afterwards.

    Perfect addition to the PS4 to expand the storage. WD has better reliability from what I read compared to Seagate, so I ended up buying another one for my Xbox one.

    This product was recommended to me by a Best Buy employee, I told him what I was needing. It works great, easy set up, supper fast (compared to my old tired one). I'm happy with it.

    I use these for sending files for movie screenings and productions. I never had any problems with these drives, but I do not keep critical data on them unless I have a backup.

    I was looking for an external hard drive unit of the same storage capacity as this one, but only in a larger physical size. However, this one will do the job and take up less space!

    Best way to store data off the laptop. I had over 1000 pictures on my laptop that could not be replaced if the computer failed. the external drive stores them with piece of mind.

    I needed an external drive to save information from a dying computer. This little thing holds lots of files. I will probably never fill it. Not real expense for what it does. Love it.

    Tried to download a game and had no space. This is the perfect solution. 1TB is plenty of space for now. Moved about 9 games over to it and not even half full.
