    Seems to work pretty well. No problems so far, though if you have a lot of memory used up on your computer it won't back it up automatically on the external drive & you have to manually drag files onto it.

    This is a boat load of memory storage, for a very affordable price. You don't want to load up your computers on board hard drive with everything. It will slow it way down, so this is the solution for stuff that you have to saved, without affecting your PC.

    I got this (in local store) to expand the storage capacity of my satellite TV recordings. Plugged it into my receiver and after I allowed it to be automatically reformatted, it is working and I'm pleased! Saved $5 by choosing red instead of blue or black.

    This came through in a clutch! It hasn't given me any issues, and I highly encourage everyone to invest in a portable hard drive.

    I had purchased a 2tb hard drive 5 years ago. It was thin and light. This WD hard drive is even thinner and lighter. I couldn’t believe it was a hard drive and not an SSD. It works great not as fast as an SSD but I only use it for mass storage.

    Easy Backup

    Plugged it in to my Lenovo Laptop. It was immediately recognized as a new device. I did not have to download any drive software. I used Windows 10 File History Option to back up my files. It was considerably faster than using flash drives, although I thought it might be just a little bit faster than it was. Other than that, I am pleased with this external drive.

    Smaller but Twice the Storage

    This 2TB WD is smaller than the WD 1 TB that I purchased a year ago, I purchased to go with a non-functioning hard drive so Geek Squad repair would use to put the recovered data on it. Had previously wondered how I could tell apart 1TB to 2TB until I saw them both together.

    I had the WD easystore 4 TB hard drive, but it did not handle the concrete walkway I dropped it on too well. This is what I purchased to replace it with. It seems to be working quite well. Using it mainly for school work, but intend to use it for music projects as well.

    It stores a lot of information and when I move my computer when it's plugged in, it doesn't suddenly remove itself from the computer like my last device kept doing.

    I love these drives! This is my second one - the other I have had for a year now and it is durable, i.e. I carry mine around in my backpack, and reliable. I have owned others that have failed so it is refreshing to have a go-to product for saving my files.

    I'm a huge gamer and the storage on my XBOX 1 was filling up fast. I did a lot of research before purchasing this external drive. It was so easy to use. Just plug it in and the XBOX 1 will guide you through a couple quick steps. Simple! I highly recommend this external.

    Love passport drives. They are reliable as long as you don’t abuse them as in drop them. Best Buy has reasonable and competitive pricing and I received the item in perfect condition. I recommend this for anyone needing more storage.

    Good place to begin if you're looking to back up your work. Especially if it's a lot of pictures. These take a lot of space. The size is great, big enough to locate reasonably easy. While a thumb drive may be able to back up a lot of data, they are also easy to lose.

    This is the third of these I have purchased, they are very handy little blocks of data. I use these for images and backups and they work great. They are, however, not as fast as other hard drives so if you're looking for a fast drive this is not for you.
