    I was able to plug it in and save files with encryption which prevents prying eyes. It is a spin drive so you do have to be careful not to jostle it especially when it is in use. I would buy another one if needed.

    This WD Passport serves my backup needs well. I purchased it to upgrade to current technology, having appreciated a backup in the past to which I had to restore after a hard drive crash. Well worth the peace of mind!

    This is my 3rd WD external HDD. First one 7 years ago and still going strong with all my data intact. Now they are both almost full and going for my 3rd but I still back up all my data in the cloud. So far, so good.

    Works as intended for a usb storage device. Will say it can get slightly hot and the small fan inside makes minimal noise.

    Ok, seriously there are only two reasons I picked out this external hard drive. 1; because it’s 2TB, which is what I was searching for and 2; because the color/texture. It’s appealing. It works for what I need. Was a little slow to export tons of files to from my computer, but is perfect otherwise.
