    Works fine so far. Had for about a month. Only issue is it will sometimes tell me I do not have permission to access files but if I unplug and plug in again it is fine. Kind of annoying not not a big deal.

    It is just what I needed for my education. Computers crash everyday, and this is a great back up idea.

    The WD my passport is a very fine hard drive. I use it for backing up my computer. It is 3.0 so is faster than my other hard drives.

    I guess the main reason I like this drive is because of the USB-C capability. Plus the on-board security is a convenient way to protect your data.

    Decided to buy a new external hard drive because my old one stopped working, it works awesome and is much smaller than the older one.

    I like the small size for 2GB of storage. The Instruction sheet makes no reference to how to obtain software to automatically back something up on a regular basis, but at least it is printed in English, (along with 22 other languages.) At the bottom of page 1, in small print, there is the URL for a Support Contact, as well as phone number for 15 countries. The Drive is of little use to me without backup software that will automatically back up changes I make to my storage files and folders on my computer. I will contact Support.
