    Reasonable hard drive for the money. I am always careful with these drives but the WD passport series have not let me down yet like the lower level of WD or other brands. I have had other types fail so I pay a little more for these. These have a bit longer warranty. If you ever drop any hard drive from waist level to the floor, plan on it being ruined and consider yourself lucky if it is undamaged.

    I've used WD hard drives for years, including the My Passport series. And, they've always performed as advertised. I needed a new drive to pair with my laptop, as it only has a smaller SSD drive. Connecting over USB 3 has worked well. Data transfer speeds have been good, and I don't even notice that I'm using an external drive for most of my backup and storage needs. Very pleased with my purchase!
