I bought this hard drive to make a backup for my computer . Good piece of mind ,knowing my files are now backed up

Love so far. set up and transfer was easy. this is a back up to my other one so i feel much more at ease.

Easy to Use Affordable and met my needs. Adequate storage for my photos and data. Light weight and very portable.

This is the first external hard drive I've ever had, and I have no complaints about it. I haven't done any rigorous testing or anything like that, as I am a pretty casual PC person. I've never encountered any problems. It offered me about 1.81 TB of storage, and no complaints about speed really. Still holding up fine after almost two years. Doesn't seem to get too hot, although it can heat up. This feels like a sturdy product, but I try to be pretty careful with it as it is still mechanical. Seems fine so far despite maybe one or two drops from about 3 feet off the ground or so and some occasional transport in my backpack.

Exactly what you expect. Small and powerful. Love it

It's so small and inexpensive when it's on sale. WD warrants it a few years. And they are reliable. If you want to save backup cloud cost and have lots of data to protect then this is good solution.

This is the third WD-My Passport I've had over the last 10+ years. The others are still working, but I like to replace them periodically, as my primary backup, just in case. They keep working, so I stick with the same brand. I found the WD Backup software to be a little more flexible for setting up than the WD Smartware from my prior drive, but it provides less information during the backup, so am overall less satisfied with the newer software. It did take me three tries to install the WD Backup software. The other utilities that came with the drive installed with no problem.

Small but mighty. I used this portable drive to hold all my download music collection and movies in which i've collected over time. This device can be plugged into smart tv's and used as if you are on a computer. Excellent for the price .

Love it!!! I have a full 2TB for my 500gb PS4! I’m so happy with this product and glad it was priced within my budget. I’ve been wanting this for a while now. Before I bought this, I had to constantly delete older games from my PS4 to free up memory to be able to download newer games. Most games now in 2020-2021 are over 100gb now! It’s crazy huge and annoying at the same time. So I bought this and have all my games saved to this portable hard drive. First plug in your Hard drive to your PS4, then power on your PS4. Your system will recognize the new hardware and follow instructions on the screen. At first I thought it didn’t work cause it said “not supported, “ but your PS4 will quickly activate it and your good to go. Set it to “save all” To hard drive . Your good! BB should contact me for future and all product reviews lol

Lots of storage space; useful for regularly backing files from computers and smartphones; useful for transferring files from one computer to another. Excellent price. Purchased in late 2019 and I expect this to last 5 years or more. Pretty blue color.

Very pleased with this purchase. Great price for a 2TB USB 3.0. I teach high school photography and was able to load a full year's worth of student work off our servers onto this drive and take it all home to do remote classroom teaching. Great purchase.

Plug and Play device. Good deal for the price Used as external storage to carry information to multiple locations

Purchased this 2 terabyte hard drive. Its a allowing me to transfer movies for safe keeping. Very easy set-up too.

I recently purchased the WD My Passport 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive in Red and so far, I'm really happy with my purchase. One of the main pros of this hard drive is that it allows me to keep my data safe by storing it off of my computer. With 2TB of space, I have plenty of room for all of my photos, files, and data. It's also great that the hard drive doesn't need its own power supply, which makes it even more portable. So far, I haven't encountered any cons with this hard drive. It's been a reliable and convenient way to store and access my data on the go.

Awesome External Hard drive, I have known Best Buy for 12 years and I have been using Western Digital products for 10 years and I trust both.

Excellent portable external drive. Great space for the money. Superb compatibility with my new computer.

I bought two of these for work. The size of this hard drive is great and I have so much room on it still. Works great and easy to use and move all my documents onto when needed.

I bought this for my gaming laptop and it has worked great for me. I love the storage size of this hard drive.

Compact light weight plenty of space for music, images and pictures. Easy to use and set up.

Purchased this device for my son for extra storage for his PS4 gaming console, he was able to set it up by himself and working immediately, he’s loving the product and for a reasonable price!
