    I needed to replace my previous external hard drive. It was easy to set up and move my data. It's light weight so it's easy to take anywhere or store when I'm out of town. It come with security options I haven't had a chance to use yet.

    They didn't have a Seagate, but we needed a backup option. WD has always been right up there for our needs so opted for this one. So far so good. Build is solid and it's compact.

    Highly recommend the portable USB WD hard drives for backing up your computer. I know some of our files are stored in the cloud, but this is a good local copy that can ensure you have everything. Works fine on Mac, Windows and even ChromeBooks.

    It's a WD drive, in my opinion the best HDD maker (not making any claims about SSDs because I have much less experience with them). This drive supplements an existing drive that is full. It's the maximum size supported by my DVR.

    Good hard drive for backing up important things. It's very fast much faster than my old generation desk tower hard drive.. Very nice style. Red is nice very easy to spot if u can't find it. Got this on a deal on the website saved me 10 bucks.

    Can't go wrong with this if you need extra memory storage for any digital and even better if it's on sale

    I have used the various versions of WD Passports for over 10 years and traveled the world with them. Always has worked. This model continues the transition of reliable and rugged. I primarily use them for backup drives.

    We needed an external drive to hold information from computers we were eliminating. We are putting all info from 2 old computers and smart drives that we have info on. Also all the extra photos that take up a lot of room. It works great!

    Followed installation instructions found on internet search for Time Machine on Macs, which say do not use what WD tells you to do. Install was easy with no problems. Gave 4 stars as not had to do a restore yet from the My Passport drive. Seems to be working fine with no problems with daily backups using Time Machine. Have been using for about 3 weeks.
