    I use a lot of these because they are relatively inexpensive and rugged enough that when I drop one they survive. I do not usually allocate enough time to go buy spare drives just in case I drop one. I know I can just stick one of these in and have 2TB wherever I need it.

    My Seagate went out after 2 years, so I decided to switch brands. This WD is the best size for the price both physically and storage wise.

    The only problem I have with this hard drive is that the case is not as thick, tough or as well built as the models before it. The case is very thin and has the feel of a cheap case that will split open if you drop it.

    WD My Passport 2TB is a plug and play external hard drive. After you plug it in the hard drive down loads the required drives. Then it is ready to use.

    The accompanying software fails consistently to install. Several hours wasted researching and retrying to install the software… just to find out the software supplied with the device does not work and is no longer supported by the vendor… The device without functioning software make this an over priced jump drive… I’m very disapointed…..
