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

This external drive is used to store the excess data and media since I have a Macbook Air with limited storage capacity. I just invested in this and wondered why I haven't gotten one before now with the constant struggles I have with my storage. I love the color, it's lightweight and is easy to use and format after checking out a couple videos on youtube. Got it on sale at a great price.

Western Digital makes reliable portable drives. A have several from the Passport line and I needed a 2 TB drive. Why blue? For the same reason one might color code any set of similar or identical items - it makes it easy to find the one I am looking for.

WD external hard drives are always great. The one I got was 2TB and it’s slim and perfect for travel. Only caveat is that the WD software won’t install. I even tried to download it directly from the website with no luck. -1 star for not being able to download the program for data recovery.

This is my 2nd or 3rd "My Passport" external drive. In terms of storage space, one of them would hold everything - but I like being able to "dedicate" each one to specific purposes. And I love the variety of colors which makes it easy for me to distinguish between them without having to open them up to see what is on them. Pretty much plug-n-plsy.

It still amazes me that a small package like this can handle 2 TB having grown up with old mechanical behemoths. This one works fine. It is not super fast transfer but it is fine for me to use as backup files or clones of operating system.

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 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!

Good place to begin if you're looking to back up your work. Especially if it's a lot of pictures. These take a lot of space. The size is great, big enough to locate reasonably easy. While a thumb drive may be able to back up a lot of data, they are also easy to lose.
