    This is a solid portable hard drive that comes in a slim case and is easy to use. Plus you get a reputable brand backing it up.

    This unit was for storage of downloaded movies that were to be consolidated from several different areas. The unit was familiar because I already had several and this new one performed very well for what I intended. I am very pleased with its performance.

    This drive will save your data as you need it to when you need it to. It will save quickly but not as quickly as the black or the red one, I believe that is why it is priced lower than the blue and red one. I think the red one has a hidden boost for speed and that is why the same product costs more for the red one than the blue one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I needed to replace my previous external hard drive. It was easy to set up and move my data. It's light weight so it's easy to take anywhere or store when I'm out of town. It come with security options I haven't had a chance to use yet.

    Highly recommend the portable USB WD hard drives for backing up your computer. I know some of our files are stored in the cloud, but this is a good local copy that can ensure you have everything. Works fine on Mac, Windows and even ChromeBooks.

    They didn't have a Seagate, but we needed a backup option. WD has always been right up there for our needs so opted for this one. So far so good. Build is solid and it's compact.

    It's a WD drive, in my opinion the best HDD maker (not making any claims about SSDs because I have much less experience with them). This drive supplements an existing drive that is full. It's the maximum size supported by my DVR.

    I have used the various versions of WD Passports for over 10 years and traveled the world with them. Always has worked. This model continues the transition of reliable and rugged. I primarily use them for backup drives.

    Followed installation instructions found on internet search for Time Machine on Macs, which say do not use what WD tells you to do. Install was easy with no problems. Gave 4 stars as not had to do a restore yet from the My Passport drive. Seems to be working fine with no problems with daily backups using Time Machine. Have been using for about 3 weeks.

    We needed an external drive to hold information from computers we were eliminating. We are putting all info from 2 old computers and smart drives that we have info on. Also all the extra photos that take up a lot of room. It works great!

    Bought this for a backup drive for a laptop. Speeds on this thing are around 230-250 MB per sec. Runs cool and quite and the connector is nice and tight. Doesn't just fall out or loose like my old Seagate backup drive.
