    I purchased this to act as a backup and transfer medium for files from my old PC to my new one. I've had success with Western Digital products in the past and this is no exception.

    I bought this for additional storage for my Xbox one. It does its job well enough, but it was generating an intermittent, high-pitched whine that was audible over my gaming headset at times. I ultimately decided to go with an SSD for quieter and faster performance, but would still recommend this product for those who don't want to shell out the extra $ for an SSD.

    Excellent drive to replace my 3 year old back up drive. It's less than the cost of the last one due to advancing technology. It's also much slimmer and quieter. It will never match my WD SSD External Drive but for the price it is an excellent drive.

    I have purchased several of these units for my clients The backup software that WD includes with this unit is easy to use and very dependable. And the price is unbeatable. I highly recommend using a Portable Drive instead of an external drive for backup.

    Good, easy to use external hard drive. After losing pictures, documents, etc when our computer had problems we wanted to make sure we keep a back up now. This is exactly what we needed and a pretty good price for 2tb

    Needed something to hold pictures when our phones filled up, rather than paying for a service like iCloud or Dropbox. So far so good. It’s worked on every computer I’ve connected it to.

    Just what I needed. WD Passport hard drives continues to be one of the best for speed transfers to other electronics sources. Plus, it an easy recognizable aqua blue color that help not to confuse with other blue color hard drives.

    "My Passport" drive: A very easy to use HD

    I purchased this external HD for ease of sharing Photo & Video files with friends and family, when visiting. I did erase any provided software by first formatting the drive, since I did not have use for the encryption feature. I only gave it 4 starts, since a travel case aught to have been includes "as standard", to protect the drive & USB-cable.
