I'm using my WD 2TB external drive for backups, it is easy to set up in my business laptop and fast to complete weekly partial backups. I suggest that you get the carry bag to protect better this drive and store the USB cable.

Very good external hard drive. Good performance, nice security features. My one complaint is that it gets warm over long use. This doesn't seem to affect its performance, but I worry about how it might affect longevity. That aside, I've been very happy with this.

As my computer's main hard drive has begun to fill up I picked this up to hold my media files, and it's been excellent so far! Fast access and transfer, no problems playing through media player or VLC. An excellent deal.

I bought this to store more games since my storage on my gaming laptop wasn’t enough. It serves its purpose for the price! Recommend if you want a portable hard drive that’s not too pricey!

Good for an external backup of my desktop files. Has a lot of options and feature that were initially overwhelming for a non-IT expert. Wish it had better, more simple instructions on how to set up routine automatic backups. But, after watching some YouTube videos its was fairly easy to figure out; and once initially done it is fairly straightforward after that.
Hello BrianC, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. We are glad to hear the drive is working well for your backup needs. If you are facing any issue with the drive, please open a support ticket at https://support-en.wd.com/app/ask/session, the customer support team will contact you as soon as possible.

Effective fundamental product. Very minimal space taken up for operations and processes, so it had very close to the full 2 terabytes, as the product said it should. Good buy for the price and I would buy it again.

I needed more storage, portable, and easy to use. Security was a must. I got all of the above with the WD Passport 2TB. There were higher and lower storage, but 2TB was enough for me.

I was wondering how I could save my important documents and information without depleting the space on my laptop. The salesman at Best Buy assisted me with my purchase of the WD 2TB My Passport Portable HDD. Thank you Best Buy for your knowledgeable staff.

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.
