    This is my 3rd WD Passport. I still use all of them. I have had the one for over 6 years and it's still going. I feel confident in using them to back up or save my data to.

    I was in a hurry and normally I only buy LaCie brand hard drives, but I got this and was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked. It is solid and dependable. I picked it up for a family member who is technophobic. Ports are strong and it isn't too heavy. Perfect for backing up on the go.

    My purchase of My Passport was an attempt to add storage to my computer files with the ability to take the files with me. It was a great purchase and I would strongly recommend this product to all whose needs matched my own. Patrick O

    This external drive is great for storing your photos, music, and document files. This is handy if you just need to a backup, or moving to new computer. One complaint, I thought this would more like a flash drive, where I could easily plug n’ play between PC & Mac. That is not the case. I had to download a program from WD (Western Digital) to use with both computers types (yes I know the box says PC or it says Mac).

    Hooked up beautifully to my ps4. It's so nice being able to have a few games to play instead of what you're able to with the stock storage.

    I had to take my PC in for several viruses, I had a lot of data to backup. My Geek Squad agent Shannon ran a diagnostic scan to see what size external drive I needed to backup my data. I chose a 2 TB, all I had to do was plug it in when they finished cleaning up my PC.

    Bought this to free up space on my laptop from pictures. I have over 20,000 picture and videos myself and also wanted to free up the pictures from my girlfriends laptop. We were both able to easily save our files into this hard drive and delete them off our laptops. It was easy to use.

    Attractive, immediately recognized by my Microsoft Surface laptop. Easy to use and fast. USB 3.0 means really fast data transfer. Am not using the auto backup with my Surface, but I have used that software on another computer and it seems to work fine.

    This poryavke hard drive is an affordable option to expand your memory. The cable to insert in the computer is a USB A, so you will need to buy and adapter for USB C

    I bought this as a gift for a co-worker for his using it for backing up laptop. So far, he's pleased with it. WD has really good drives and they've been around for years and I trust them whole-heartedly. I myself have all WD hard drives for backup and storage.
