    Works okay. Had issue downloading a few item. I don't know if it is because i'm using it on my PS4.

    Title pretty much says it all. First time having bad luck with a portable HD of any sort; two different computers wouldn't recognize it and going into the Control Panel it was described as unrecognized and corrupted...so, back to the store it went. Hoping to have better luck later on.

    Internally it seems to be a 5400 rpm hdd, so it's a bit slow, but it's decent value for the price.

    Best Buy Tech told me Passport 2 TB was plug and play for PC and Mac. It's not. It's only plug and play for PC. You have to download drivers for Mac which didn't work and would not transfer files or pictures. Returned it. Got a Seagate from another source and it works great right out of the box.

    I have bought 2 of these in the last year. They seem to randomly stop working after a while. Never dropped or banged around, just stopped working for seemingly no reason. I had a friend say his did the same thing. For the price im sure there is a much more reliable product from another company.

    While having several other versions of a portable hard drive and even other passports, upset that this device failed after about 3 weeks of use. My information is no longer retrievable on this device. Frustrating in that it was purchased to house multiple backups of previous jump drives.

    It was hard to use this drive with a Mac system and I am still trying to find was to copy/move data off my Mac to the drive without doing a backup. When installing the software that came with the drive for the Mac, it wanted access to share information and login information that is not good.

    I was not able to use this item. It fell out of my hands on the second day. Unfortunately, it was a cash purchase and I wasn't able to find the receipt either. Make sure you don't drop this thing!
