    Hi bought this because my hard drive died once and I needed something to use as a backup. Knock on wood it doesn't happen again but it is serving its purpose.

    Works perfectly on my Mac. I had a little difficulty at first setting it up and making it compatible to my Mac, but after doing a little research, had no problems.

    This drive is pretty much plug and play. If you have windows backup setup to this drive it will automatically back up the requested files at the interval selected.

    Not my first WD Passport and absolutely not my last. I rely on a lot of storage for large image, video, and sound files. WD comes through every time. Worth the investment.

    I purchased this to be a backup drive for a PC laptop. I have purchased many WD drives in the past, and appreciated the USB 3.0 speed. The nice color was a bonus. Easy setup.

    if you can't put your data on a flash drive to work from, then this drive is a good value. its spin speed at 7200 makes it adequate for video editing. that's what i'm using it for via Premier Pro CC. and i've yet to have a WD drive fail; I've lost some LaCie drives otoh.

    Bought two of these for backup. Transfers are fast and the drive itself seems durable but the micro-USB end of the cable seems like it should be treated gingerly.

    I have files I want to backup and store offline (off the cloud). This simple hard drive fills the bill with software for scheduling automatic backups. So far, works well.

    These hard drives are slick and require no external power supply. Great for backing up computers and storing dvr programs directly from hd antennas.
