    I got this external hard drive to hold my photos and so far I've had 0 issues! It had a crazy amount of space and its so compact and light! I normally keep it constantly plugged into my desktop but I love that I can take it on the go if needed! Definitely recommend getting an external hard drive!

    Easy to use. Works just as described. Frees up valuable space on your main drive. Don't lose your priceless photos and files. Always have a copy of what you just cannot stand to think about losing.

    Great, compact drive! Worked well and is super small. Very handy for backups and then store in a fire/water proof safe! I didn’t install the back up software as I dint need it. A few years ago, I tried WD back up software and just wasn’t a fan. Might be useful if you’re not savvy with backing up.

    I purchased this two years ago and I still have more storage than a little bit. It’s very compact and holds up to two computer documents so far.

    This HDD is just the perfect size to use anytime. The drive is sleek and feels durable.it has good wrote speeds and as a bonus it has hardware encryption. Which means you can password protect the drive. Overall, for the price it's hard to find anything better. Highly recommended.

    portable and decent incapacity (2TB). this one has a spinning disc. Not SSD. I prefer the Solid State but the price is hard to beat on this older style. For me, 2TB in a fully portable device that is powered by the USB cord is as big as I go. I have seen 4TB but that is a lot of juice and momentum for a USB powered drive. These are great but don't let the cat knock them onto the floor.

    Purchased this WD my passport as a back up for my other WD external hard drive. I always trust WD products on their reliability. I love having this as my partner on repairing computers as this is more handy as it is more slimmer than my old one. Overall satisfied with the purchase.

    We needed an external hard drive for our old Wii. This lets us put nearly every GameCube and Wii game made on one little storage device. It was recognized immediately by windows and the Wii, and tucks away behind the game console. Going to buy a couple more for the XBox and PlayStation.

    I bought this item and thankfully its not terribly expensive for the price and the space. It has plently of storage for my PS4 to which i dont play alot of games so for someone like me it is plenty. I also bought this brand because of my experience with another external hard drive i already own from WD.

    Ran out room on my other hard drive. Because I like this brand, I purchased this one but with double the space. Plus red is a good color and was a few dollars cheaper so it was. Win-win. Bought it for my husband who uses it for his Xbox games.

    Really helpful, no need to plug in a power cord. I sold my old 2TB passport that used a power-cord and bought this one. I use it for school and personal movies and T.V shows like The office. Would buy another one in a heartbeat but with more storage.

    Very easy to use external hard drive. Could not be much simpler, and is reliable and easy to transport. Slim, light and easy to keep in my backpack when large files or a general backup are needed. It is a great back-up for my work computer.
