    After waiting and waiting and waiting for a backup to finish on my desktop I decided to get one of these. Backup is now finished. I would be still waiting if I did not buy this MUCH faster drive.

    This portable drive works great right out the box. Just plug it in it works, no fancy work arounds. Also I was able to password protect the drive with little effort with the app that's included.

    Needed a solution to back up my old computer but wanted portability. Seems like life is moving so quickly forward and the desktops are outdated every year. This unit works as advertised and I have no issues.

    I’ve always used WD passports external drives. My old WD was slowing down somewhat and replaced it with this kind. I am glad I did, as it complimented my XPS computer, it is fast and smooth.

    One of the highest rated external drives at a great price. Purchased for my 16yr old to free up space on his laptop. Plug & play makes it easy to use. Smaller than a cellphone for easy portability.
