    My son needed more memory on his PS4 and I was told by GameStop I'd have to buy it from there. They wanted $100. I went online and ordered this one and it works amazing. Great value for the money.

    Real cool and fast drive, upgraded my laptop and needed all my music files from my old computer. Cool design as well, smaller/thinner than expected. You should definitely purchase this.

    I'm using this on my PS4. The transfer rate is fast. The size is great and stays out of the way. USB powered which is nice. Was plug and play out of the box. The PS4 formats it to what is needed.

    Not quite pure WD

    Technically the drive works; I was able to copy almost 1/2 tb of photos to it. However, the backup software “provided” with the unit was NOT WD Backup as I expected; apparently WD Backup is no longer supported. WD outsourced the backup software to Acronis True Image who requires you to register for a free 4 yr license. After 4 years? Would I be able to recover it if I didn’t have Acronis‘s software? WD didn’t know about that. So, for now, it’s an inert storage device which is its intended use until I identify a backup software that simple enough for my needs. *Footnote to”would I recommend this”: If you know Acronis or don’t mind, it’s probably a great drive.

    I have had 3 WD hard drives over the last 25 years. The first one was outstanding, it did its job for 25 years. I purchased a second in 2010 to go with a laptop. It failed to function after 3 months and was returned for a full refund. This third one was to replace the 25 year old that finally died. It never function properly and now has been returned after 1 month.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    It does exactly what it says it will do, saves data. Got it on sale for like 50 bucks while the other colors were 89. Not sure why a blue drive would cost more, but it all worked out.

    I purchased another WD backup that did not come with any software. What a nightmare. The MyPassport was very easy to install, download the software, and viola, you have a regular backup scheduled.
