Customer Ratings & Reviews

I needed this in a pinch and it has been amazing. Cannot recommend Western Digital products enough. They last a long time and work on everything if formatted to the correct format. If you want to be sure it works for both MAC and PC, reformat it to exFAT before storing anything on it. It will work on any OS out of the box, but it's usually best to re-format it to exFAT.

Great bang for the buck -- Smaller and lighter than the old Seagate that was good but finally went to heaven -- Transfer rate is great -- I've been playing with computers and the like since 1963 -- Yup -- Old but good -- I tested this thing and it is 100 percent -- 2TB should take care of my needs for at least 5 years -- I hope the data growers use some common sense cuz (help support cuz - It is way more efficient) we humans can only use so many pixels to define a image -- May need advanced drives for politicians -- Stay Safe

Loads of space! Software was easy to install and the device is also easy to use. It is light weight and can be carried around anywhere.

The physical size of the drive was smaller than I expected. The 2TB was more than enough space to save photos and videos that I had stored in the cloud and multiple different flash drives. Software was easy to install and works great with my Google drive. Only downside is the software is a bit temperamental and closes everytime you click out of the program.

Very fast copy time. Very small footprint. Un believable value. Make file organization and backup very simple and fast

Big drive, small price, WD quality. Worked out of the box and now we have reliable backups for the inevitable laptop crash.

It has lots of storage and is easy to use. I just plug it into my device and it transfers everything with ease.

This slim and compact external hard drive is exactly what I needed. Light weight and comfortable. More storage space than I need, thus far.

Very nice quality and exactly the size storage I was looking for. The size isn’t too big so it’s easy enough to carry in a bag etc.

When my laptop suddenly started acting up, I realized how much I stood to lose: almost two decades worth of my pictures, music, work, receipts, my life wrapped up in a little silver box. This tiny red box, as it turns out, is a pocket sized savior. Quick data transfer, tons of headspace, and easy to connect and use. It saved my data, I think I’ll end up picking up a couple more for backup backups. Can never be too sure.

Works great easy to use compact size easily connect to devices

I have always been a Western Digital fan, good, reliable products at decent prices. This particular drive was a gift for our daughter so she could backup pictures of our grand kids, this is very important to Grandpa and Grandma. So if you are reading this review you are looking for a backup drive, just quit looking and buy it. If your family pictures are sitting on a 6 year old desktop or laptop drive you are tempting fate. I retired from over 40 years in computers/IT and as good as the technology is, I promise you it will fail.

This WD 2TB portable hard drive is very compact and easy to use. Great value and excellent option for data and file back-up purposes.

Works very well. Great for travel because of the size, reliability, and light weight.

ive only had this for a day but compared to other external hard drives this one is the slimmest smallest i have. its about 1/4th the size of the older model passports. the actual memory size is 1.81 tb. and it comes formatted as ntfs. i will most likely try to use fat32formatter to convert it to fat32 so it will work on my tv and playstation3 to play video files. one thing that concerns me us when i plug the usb chord into the top it has a flexibility up and down to it. im not sure if this is good or bad. maybe its on purpose to give it some leeway to not break, or maybe this is a flaw and it might snap easier leaving the thing useless i dont know. its extremely light says compatable with window 7,8,10. but i think if i make it fat32 then i should be able to use it on xp

Still running regardless of the bad habĺts (spouse kept it plugged in to the cpu from all the bootup & shutdown / plug and replugged while transfer for the past 4 years of usage). Still working with no degraded write/read speed for these 3 years. Was skeptical to purchase due to these type of models but so far working great. Imagine leaving this in your trunk of your vehicle for a few years and decided to use it to back a family picture & video thats 348gb. Still did it job and transfer Pictures & Video with ease ( only took less than 1hr compared to other models ). So far i am satisfied.

Nice little HD. I use this to store music. Does what I need it to do. It's super light weight and reliable so far.

2tb, comes with cable, super light, pretty discrete. Would recommend

As the portable name says, it definitely is. It is light but very good quality cin 2 tb, enough space for what one wants to keep and carry.

I have only had it for a month or so but it has been easy to use and very reliable so far. It is a nice size also.
