Simply put, the WD - My Passport 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive (the red one) is a life saver. It's fast for video editing and looks great on the desk, on the go, or anywhere you might need an external hard drive.

Every couple of years, I purchase another external hard drive to be certain that my documents are safely stored. The storage space continues to inflate and prices continue to fall. This year, I scrutinized over the Passport and Elements. There are no discernible difference. Purchase the one with the better price.

I bought this to back up my computer and it definitely did a great job. Lots of space and durable for the price

Easy to use hooks up easy and the price is affordable

So far so good. Plug and play on my Mac in less than a minute. A very quiet drive and runs pretty cool....

Good device for additional storage needs. Compact size

Easy to use for backing up files. Like the small size of this unit.

Good product for Mr m Jones. I am able to save my filming pictures and submit it to Amazon prime video for the world to see.

Easy to use. Best Buy team was very helpful Recommend anytime

Excellent product with an excellent price point. Western Digital delivers!

I picked this up at the store, took it home, and plugged it into my Windows 10 laptop. I copied about 300 GB worth of data to store as a backup. Transfer rates on my system averaged a little over 100MB/s. Initially, speeds bounced between 88 to 104MB/s. By the end of the transfer, speeds were up to 119MB/s. I'm very happy! I didn't need to do anything more than plug it in and go. This was a replacement for an old backup hard drive. It's noticeably smaller (about half as thick) than the old USB 2.0 500GB drive it replaced. The whole process was easy. There was nothing I needed to do other than to plug it in and go.

Lots of storage and easy to use! I do have trouble connecting it to different computers though.

Granted, SSD is now the way to go but I get paranoid of the “new way” and like to back up my important files onto these OldSchool external HD

I bought this drive to store movies for my video library. It holds the movies and functions well with my computer. When I tried to attach the drive to my televisions and blu-ray/dvd players. Some it would work with others it wouldn't. I suspect the problem of not working with all the units is the drive is powered by whatever it's plugged into and some units couldn't do that. It works well though, as I said earlier, with my computer.

It is very useful for my needs and is compatible with my computer. Has helped me organized all of my documents, photos and videos.

Love this little external drive. I use it as a backup drive and love the software it comes with to schedule when to run backups automatically and ability to choose exactly which folders you want to back up. Also I like that you can password protect it using the included software as well.

Got plenty of room for all your media,(music, videos, movies). Nice and portable to view on the road.

Exceeded my expectations. I had no issues setting up incremental weekly backups for my critical data.

Using it for 2 months. No problems. Have a lot of Western Digital external drives and find them highly reliable. I don't need to use the encryption function as I'm not using it for anything that needs to be secured. Nice and fast on USB 3.0. Using it with a laptop. No problems.

Hooked up beautifully to my ps4. It's so nice being able to have a few games to play instead of what you're able to with the stock storage.
