    I had the WD easystore 4 TB hard drive, but it did not handle the concrete walkway I dropped it on too well. This is what I purchased to replace it with. It seems to be working quite well. Using it mainly for school work, but intend to use it for music projects as well.

    I am very please with this hard drive. I had a lot of files I wanted to back up, and this has plenty of storage for me to do so. I would recommend it.

    Western digital ext hard drives let me down a few years ago so i was reluctant to go with another external drive from them. I usually only use Seagate but this WD model was suprisingly very especially for the price. Good job Western Digital.

    It works great with in HP laptop. Only downside is that I also wanted to backup my old Apple iMac - once the Passport has been used with one type of system it will not also work with the other.

    My daughter's laptop didn't have enough memory on it for all her projects but it still works well otherwise so was glad to get this external hard drive so she didn't have to spend the money to buy a new laptop just yet.

    Ran out room on my other hard drive. Because I like this brand, I purchased this one but with double the space. Plus red is a good color and was a few dollars cheaper so it was. Win-win. Bought it for my husband who uses it for his Xbox games.

    Good place to begin if you're looking to back up your work. Especially if it's a lot of pictures. These take a lot of space. The size is great, big enough to locate reasonably easy. While a thumb drive may be able to back up a lot of data, they are also easy to lose.

    Needed 1 to replace an older 1 acting as a backup drive for my pc. I trust Western Digital more than the others and this came in on the mark as far as price and size capacity. It also arrived earlier than projected, which is always a plus.

    WD 2TB passport HD with 256 bits AES Hardware encr

    Compared to the prior generation of Western Digit passport with 256 bits AES hardware encryption, this portable hard driver is way thinner and light weight. With 2TB (around 1.81TB actually), you’ve got plenty of backup space. For additional $10, you can get the Passport Ultra version from Best Buy, but they are pretty similar except for the USB interface. The cool thing is that it comes with a free one year cloud subscription.

    My Passport External Hard Drive purchase was a must for me. I have been working with my computer for Zoom teaching and have had to move files in order to retain the memory on my computer. This is easy to use and I can retrieve the files if I need them!

    I have an older 1TB hard drive that is three times the size and requires a power source so I upgraded to the 2TB passport HD and it’s amazing! Transfers large movie files from my computer to this HD in no time! Haven’t had any issues yet except trying to set up the Cloud account to do the backups but not worried about that right now. Overall great product! Would totally buy again.
