    I bought this to store more games since my storage on my gaming laptop wasn’t enough. It serves its purpose for the price! Recommend if you want a portable hard drive that’s not too pricey!

    Need to back up my laptop that died. I plugged it in and moved files with ease. Loaded the files on a new laptop and was up and running quick. Also, now I have a way to move data easily.

    This is a great portable hard drive - lots of storage, low price, very quiet. Using this as extended storage on my PS4, providing me the space to download many more games from the Playstation store.

    I needed more storage, portable, and easy to use. Security was a must. I got all of the above with the WD Passport 2TB. There were higher and lower storage, but 2TB was enough for me.

    Great External Hard Drive

    This External Hard drive has surpassed what I thought it could do. Also wasn’t exactly sure what I needed. Was upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and didn’t want to lose programs, pictures etc off of my computer while doing the upgrade. There was a Geek Squad team member out on the floor helping people. She was very nice and knowledgeable. Helped me immensely. I am not a spring chicken anymore and a lot of things to do with computers and smart phones I am Clueless. Thank You. Britt

    Plug and play. Works just like a USB when plugged in and appears as My Passport. Works with Windows and Linux (Manjaro, Fedora, Zorin, ext). Awesome back up. Makes a little whirring sound when plugged in.

    Review of WD 2 TB drive

    This portable hard drive was bought to clone my original hard drive in order to upgrade to windows 10. Cloned without any problem and now this drive is stored as a permanent back up until I am sure there is no problems with 10, then will clone 10 and save as a backup. Quick drive, easy to plug and play.

    Great Value!

    Some things to get clear with this product: Quality: This external hard drive has a very high quality feel, the case is well designed and the read/write speeds are consistent in benchmarks. Ease of use: I have to give this portable hard drive a 3 out of 5 because for some reason even after I plugged it into my pc, it didn’t even tell me that I had to format it even though all the disk space was unallocated, maybe I got a bad unit or something but if someone who didn’t know how to format a drive got this, they’d probably have a hard time figuring out what to do with this product. Other than that it should just be a simple plug and play item. Value: even though it’s not stated directly on the box, this is a 2TB SSD that’s inclosed in the housing and in fact not an HDD which is good news, usually you find 2TB SSDs to be hundreds of dollars because they are so fast but this one was about $90 and was a great deal, if you are running low on space this is a great option to consider.

    Unbelievable value for the price. This was easy to add to my computer. 2T is a lot of storage for something this size. The added security features add to this great value.

    Having had another remote back up hard drive that took a dump and decided to die on me; after I drilled a few holes in it to insure it's good and dead, I replaced it with the My Passport 2 TB. I'm hoping I won't fill up the 2 TB in my and my wife's lives.

    This device is small and compact and holds more data then we thought we had. The price was the best after shopping and comparing with other external drives. Easily downloads data with very minimal instructions.
