    Didn't have any problems setting it up. Go to the WD website if you need their programs. I'm using it now for my ps4 it just needed to be formatted. Cannot be partitioned for use on ps4 at same time as PC.

    So far so good. These external drives sometimes have glitches after a while. This one seems to be smoother than most.

    Plug and play. Works just like a USB when plugged in and appears as My Passport. Works with Windows and Linux (Manjaro, Fedora, Zorin, ext). Awesome back up. Makes a little whirring sound when plugged in.

    Started digitizing old photos and needed a safe place to store them. The WD - My Passport 2TB External USB 3.0 did the job. Installation was quick and easy and I was able to backup the computer. Very happy with it!

    Review of WD 2 TB drive

    This portable hard drive was bought to clone my original hard drive in order to upgrade to windows 10. Cloned without any problem and now this drive is stored as a permanent back up until I am sure there is no problems with 10, then will clone 10 and save as a backup. Quick drive, easy to plug and play.

    The users are developmentally disabled adults who don't know their own strength and have the demeaned of a bull in a China closet and they haven't damaged them at all with the protector. Unbelievable.

    Excellent Drive. I find WD drives work better than Seagate drives. I have numerous WD drives and NONE have failed. I also like the red color to aid used for graphic backup.

    I have been wanting to get an external hard drive for all my pictures and videos. It was perfect for me to keep space open on my laptop and phone. It is convenient for me to keep everything organized.

    Needed this for extra storage! Definitely works great! Only thing I do not like is the use of a password for security. Other than that it is easy to set up.

    This is a very good drive. It has nicely fast read/write. It's lightweight, very portable and is simple to use. So far, it has had no glitches. This is my go-to drive for backing updata.

    We have several of these from a few years ago and could not believe how much smaller they have become. Can't wait to replace all our big, clunky external drives with these sleek new ones.
