I back up my personal files on this hard drive. I feel better knowing that if my computer crashes, I have my files saved

easy to use and is a small enough size that it doesnt get in the wayt

Easy to set up, small and discrete, my 11 year old could set it up

Love this hard drive, a couple of terabytes for a low price and works amazingly well

Some things to get clear with this product: Quality: This external hard drive has a very high quality feel, the case is well designed and the read/write speeds are consistent in benchmarks. Ease of use: I have to give this portable hard drive a 3 out of 5 because for some reason even after I plugged it into my pc, it didn’t even tell me that I had to format it even though all the disk space was unallocated, maybe I got a bad unit or something but if someone who didn’t know how to format a drive got this, they’d probably have a hard time figuring out what to do with this product. Other than that it should just be a simple plug and play item. Value: even though it’s not stated directly on the box, this is a 2TB SSD that’s inclosed in the housing and in fact not an HDD which is good news, usually you find 2TB SSDs to be hundreds of dollars because they are so fast but this one was about $90 and was a great deal, if you are running low on space this is a great option to consider.

Unbelievable value for the price. This was easy to add to my computer. 2T is a lot of storage for something this size. The added security features add to this great value.

Excellent quality and surprisingly fast I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase of this product

I needed to back up some files before changing computers. This little (in size) Passport is perfect for the task. It's easy to connect and easy to move files onto it.

Use this for my laptop as extra storage and works as intended and fits into my laptop case as well

Super easy to use. Stores all my files and very light and handy. You can bring it anywhere.

Does exactly as it should and great quality higly recommend and if needed will purchase again.

This drive is perfect for my needs. It has plenty of storage and it made switching to a new laptop so easy. Plus I have peace of mind knowing my data is backed up.

This device is small and compact and holds more data then we thought we had. The price was the best after shopping and comparing with other external drives. Easily downloads data with very minimal instructions.

I purchased this drive to use for backing up my primary system and assorted other files. I was able to partition it, install a Linux system of its own on it, boot-up the system installed on it, and backup everything to it from within that system all without any problems. It did seem to get a bit warmer than I thought it would during the initial backup process, but everything went smoothly and it looks like all the data is there. Western Digital has been my go-to drive brand for many a year now, with the only failure in that time being caused by me, so I'm expecting this drive to function well and last for a good while

Picked this up for my daughter to back up her laptop and add some extra storage for her wedding planning. Works great and without issue. Already filling with photos.

These External Drives Are Great for Storage and replay on PC's and TV's. However... once in a while you get one that is defective. Just return it and get another one or just a refund.

I was surprised by the size of this portable drive, it is much smaller than my previous WD My Passport. I use it for Time Machine backups on my macbook pro, so I can't attest to its speed of writing/reading, since I don't care much. I did notice that the first backup (500GB) took a while, but other than that it's silent and works well in the background. I can travel with it due to how flat it is, so that's another plus. Setting it up was easy. I plugged it on, opened Time Machine and selected the drive. Time machine required to format it in order to use it, but that didn't take long and in no time it was backing up.

This is the perfect device foe mass storage without using up your internal hard drive!

My old laptop is starting to run extremely slow and I’m sure it won’t last much longer. I have years of files and pictures that I don’t want to loose. Set up was easy. I did go online to watch video on set up. I’m glad I did, I was not aware that you need to connect these every year or two to prevent damage and total loss.

You can not go wrong with WD EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE A great addition to expand my laptop storage. Super portable, light, and FAST
