    Good quality but unfortunately had to return since apple is stubborn and won't let you easily connect it to migrate more data and i didn't want to mess with it so i just bought more memory on my mac mini. If you're on windows I'd recommend though.

    I bought this for extra storage for my Xbox One. It's been a life saver! The price was great when I purchased it, very affordable. Its going to hold a great amount of games and so far has been a seamless transition with no lag or anything. And my system set the drive up by itself so I didnt have to do a thing. Overall great product!!

    Monster back-up memory

    2TB is a crazy amount of storage, so I don't have to worry about the remaining memory left even after transferring videos, clips, pictures, audio files, editing reels, and etc into this surprisingly lightweight & slim drive. This drive automatically registers through Mac's Timemachine app once connected, so the instant-read and back-up features are extremely convenient. WD makes so many portable hard drives, each with various max storage space so it's well-curated for those looking for something small like a 1TB, ranging up to 4TB (once you hit 8TB and higher, it becomes a block and I personally don't think renders 'portable'). Great product at an incredible price!

    Doing some spring cleaning and I have several old laptops that I have been holding on to for years. Mainly because they have documents and photos that I might possibly need someday. I made an appointment with the Geek Squad to backup 2 old laptops and my current laptop. I bought this little hard drive because it was on sale and I am extremely happy with the purchase. It got everything. Documents, photos, videos!! So much stuff with lots of space left for more! Also, you can take it anywhere because it fits in the palm of your hand. I highly recommend this compact, powerful hard drive!

    Great HW Encrypted portable storage

    I'm an audio engineer, and I use this as my storage for all the projects I am currently working on. I record audio directly to this drive, and occasionally edit video as well. So far I haven't had any hiccups, and the drive is able to keep up with all my demands. I run projects recording plenty of live musicians at the same time: from entire close-mic'd drum kits, to small orchestras, and this drive is my primary recording drive. Hardware encryption works like a charm, and I have it enabled, without experiencing any noticeable performance penalties, which is great. Overall, it is a robust, slim, portable hard-drive which keeps up with my demands as an audio engineer.

    SanDisk 2 TB surprise.

    This is a very small 2 TB SanDisk external drive that plugs into the back of my desktop computer. It is extremely fast, and easy to install. The actual size is about 2x3x1/4 inch in dimension. I would buy it again, but I must say that I was quite surprised with the size of this hard drive. I almost did not believe that I had picked out the correct product! I would buy this again if I needed more storage.

    The WD My Passport 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive is a reliable and compact storage solution that’s perfect for backing up files, photos, and videos. It’s incredibly easy to set up—just plug it in and it’s ready to go, with fast transfer speeds that make moving large files quick and effortless. The slim, lightweight design makes it convenient to carry around, and it feels durable enough for everyday use. I also appreciate the built-in backup software and password protection options, which add an extra layer of security. Overall, it’s a great balance of portability, performance, and peace of mind for anyone needing extra storage.

    This has expanded my pc gaming ability. I have a lot of games on my pc and within the first year it was already full. I found this in store when I didn’t even know I was looking for it and it was the literal Best Buy. It’s nowhere near full and it’s working like a charm. I was able to clear up space on my pc and ease of balancing what I want on this so it may travel with me.
