Simply put, the WD - My Passport 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive (the red one) is a life saver. It's fast for video editing and looks great on the desk, on the go, or anywhere you might need an external hard drive.

I picked this up at the store, took it home, and plugged it into my Windows 10 laptop. I copied about 300 GB worth of data to store as a backup. Transfer rates on my system averaged a little over 100MB/s. Initially, speeds bounced between 88 to 104MB/s. By the end of the transfer, speeds were up to 119MB/s. I'm very happy! I didn't need to do anything more than plug it in and go. This was a replacement for an old backup hard drive. It's noticeably smaller (about half as thick) than the old USB 2.0 500GB drive it replaced. The whole process was easy. There was nothing I needed to do other than to plug it in and go.

Excellent product. No crashes I use it to store me EA account and games. It frees up so much space and holds all my base games and expansion games for the Sims.

Easy to use for backing up files. Like the small size of this unit.

I really liked the drive itself. It has a huge capacity for a very low price. However, the bundled software was not as good as the older version I bought several years ago. WD Backup used to offer much greater control of what to backup and where to back it up. It allowed the user to closely track the progress of the backup. WD Drive Utilities is more limited as well. It tests the drive, but provides little information about what it found.

Lots of storage and easy to use! I do have trouble connecting it to different computers though.

I bought this drive to store movies for my video library. It holds the movies and functions well with my computer. When I tried to attach the drive to my televisions and blu-ray/dvd players. Some it would work with others it wouldn't. I suspect the problem of not working with all the units is the drive is powered by whatever it's plugged into and some units couldn't do that. It works well though, as I said earlier, with my computer.

Such a powerful laptop! I’m able to multitask, play games and watch videos without it overheating.

Love this little external drive. I use it as a backup drive and love the software it comes with to schedule when to run backups automatically and ability to choose exactly which folders you want to back up. Also I like that you can password protect it using the included software as well.

Got plenty of room for all your media,(music, videos, movies). Nice and portable to view on the road.

Using it for 2 months. No problems. Have a lot of Western Digital external drives and find them highly reliable. I don't need to use the encryption function as I'm not using it for anything that needs to be secured. Nice and fast on USB 3.0. Using it with a laptop. No problems.

This 2TB WD is smaller than the WD 1 TB that I purchased a year ago, I purchased to go with a non-functioning hard drive so Geek Squad repair would use to put the recovered data on it. Had previously wondered how I could tell apart 1TB to 2TB until I saw them both together.

Happy with my product and it does the job. Actually I purchase another one

It does the job and is easy to for anyone to use, regardless of your familiarity with technology.

Good product for Mr m Jones. I am able to save my filming pictures and submit it to Amazon prime video for the world to see.

Granted, SSD is now the way to go but I get paranoid of the “new way” and like to back up my important files onto these OldSchool external HD

Great External Hard Drive. Works with Macbook Air and my Lenovo laptop. Be sure if you plan to use this Hard Drive on both a Mac and a PC that you buy the Insignia USB-C to HDMI Multiport Adaptor. Thank you PJ at Beaumont, Texas Best Buy for your help. Great sales service.

So many people I deal with, who have online businesses use this same portable hard drive , which validates how good and reliable this product is. This is my third upgrade of this particular external drive. I really like its durability and reliability.

Works perfect for PS5. I purchased to store all of my ps4 games on here to free up space on the internal ssd. Was very easy to format once plugged into the ps5 and non ps5 games automatically download and save to it. Would recommend to anyone looking for an external hard drive
