    I love it! Small & portable and just perfect for what I am doing with it. Plenty of room to back up all your important files. My other backup drives are to full to copy my very large music file that can't be replaced so this Hd is perfect!

    So glad I purchased this little device! Much smaller in size than I imagined. Very easy to set up and access on demand. It will hold MUCH MUCH more than I will ever use - but that's OK. Took a lot off the cloud - so quickly and easily!! Very pleased with this purchase - as I usually am when I buy from Best Buy !!

    It's great for storing all those files you don't need to often but don't want to delete. Plenty space, great price. Just be careful not to drop it or shake it to much, files can get corrupted. But with normal use it's pretty good and It should last for a good while.

    Portable and Reliable 2TB HD

    I recently purchased the WD My Passport 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive in Red and so far, I'm really happy with my purchase. One of the main pros of this hard drive is that it allows me to keep my data safe by storing it off of my computer. With 2TB of space, I have plenty of room for all of my photos, files, and data. It's also great that the hard drive doesn't need its own power supply, which makes it even more portable. So far, I haven't encountered any cons with this hard drive. It's been a reliable and convenient way to store and access my data on the go.

    Pretty Impressive

    Works great! Very impressed by the potential transfer speed of 6 GBPS, though real world results are always lower. Even on a mid range laptop however I was achieving 200-300 MBPS on average. When plugged into my phone transfer speed shot up to 1.2 GBPS so that was great as well. Love the storage and the price is right for such a large portable storage. The one drawback is the fractured and at times redundant WD drive software(s). There are multiple programs to install and manage your drive. it would be much easier to include everything in one program. They are moving in that direction with the new EdgeRover software- that's a must try if you have multiple storage modes and means and things are... less than perfectly organized.

    really portable and easy plug and play. Red color stands out and feels good in hand or just put next to your PC. WD quality should last a long time, and 2TB space holds quite a bit

    As with anyone who travels or just likes to take photos; I back up my photos in at least 3 places. I have cloud backup, smaller devices for travel, but since I am "old school" I do not put all my eggs in one basket. I use portable and dependable passports for my photos and videos. This was my latest purchase and I used it to back up over 20 years of photos and videos from a computer that needed to be replaced. Many of the photos have been displayed at local art shows and sold as cards and I find this product to be easy to work with.

    Most inexpensive option for getting terabytes of storage in a small form factor. I bought this for data storage with a new Mac Mini I configured as a home server for music and photos. The Mini had a small internal SSD so I went with this to get plenty of data storage. My Itunes and iphoto media reside in it. I really like the USB 3 port because it matches the USB3 on the mini and gets me maximum bandwidth for fast access. So easy to set up. Just format with Disk Utility, then instant up and running. No special drivers required! Very happy, would easily buy again.

    Purchased a new gaming computer for my son. had a list of things he wanted to transport from his old computer. A friend told me to just pick up one of these and save and transfer. I'm by no means a savvy computer guru but this was so easy to use it made me look like an expert! Small, easy, and can fit in your shirt pocket!

    This drive is easy to use. Set-up is simple. The drive is very reliable. Compact size makes it perfect for home use where low profile saves space. Highly recommended.
