    This is much easier to use than I thought although I spent a lot on time on You Tube looking for some guidance that the sales clerk didn't or couldn't provide. Copying my files went lightening fast and copying them into my new laptop was just as easy and fast. I was shocked at how easy it was.

    Is large enough to store all my personal documents so I don't have to have an extra PC, and can just attach to my work computer. It saved me hundreds of dollars and I'm able to easily just travel with it....as it's small enough to slide into my laptop bag. Plenty of storage and no corruption or issues to date! 3.7.20

    I purchased this for my not so tech savvy fiancee. She takes a lot of pics with her phone plus she's in school for fashion. She uses Google drive for both and 15GB just isn't enough for her photos alone. She uses this to transfer her school files from Google Drive and to keep her internal hard drive free on her laptop.

    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.

    The Importance of a Good External Hard Drive

    We all know the importance of a good external hard drive. I believe the Passport 2TB to be exactly that. I purchased the hard drive in Jan 2020 and what I really love is that I don't have to worry or keep checking to see if backup is occurring because I get periodic messages that backup is occurring. Very nice!

    I really liked the drive itself. It has a huge capacity for a very low price. However, the bundled software was not as good as the older version I bought several years ago. WD Backup used to offer much greater control of what to backup and where to back it up. It allowed the user to closely track the progress of the backup. WD Drive Utilities is more limited as well. It tests the drive, but provides little information about what it found.

    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.
