    This is my 3rd passport, fortunately. My only criticism is this one came with no installation instructions. It did take several tries to get the new software installed probably because nothing told me I had to unsistall the older version instead of it being a straight update of what was already on the computer. Once I thought to try that all went well. I believe that to be a WD deficiency as opposed to Best Buy.

    What can I say. WD has an excellent reputation. I have several WD external drives to backup my data and, knock on wood, they keep on truckin'. I use them as redundant backups.
