    This is my second WD external hard drive. I had a computer failure and this hard drive saved all my information and transferred easily to my new Mac Desktop. A lifesaver!! Easily backs up my computer hourly in Time Machine.

    This is the third Passport drive that I own. They work great. Good applications included. But would it be so hard to include setup instructions. Even looked on the WD website with little help.

    Purchased at the beginning of the acknowledged pandemic in the US. Drove up to the store and trusted them to choose the right external portable hard drive for me. It wasn't quite big enough to meet my needs, but close enough for the price.

    This is a good option if you need a portable drive to copy large files and do backups. The only complaint I would have is the speed at which it does it! An SSD drive works much faster but also costs much more. If speed is not a priority then this drive should do fine.

    I used this device to back up all the data on my desktop computer. The process took several hours. It worked well although I have only had it for a short time so can't speak to issue of how well or how long it will take to backup next time.
