    We own two, both used for Xbox one additional storage. Look for deals as they sometimes on sale and get 2gb or bigger, 1gb is a waste of money.

    Fits my requirements perfectly for an alternative, physical backup of some large drives at my home office. Beats hoping the cloud backup will be there and safe etc.

    It's an external hard drive for storage, backup. You plug in to a USB port. I don't care for their program that opens every time you boot up the computer.

    I've used these Western Digital external hard drives for a long time, and have never had a bad experience with them. The new design has a very sturdy feel to it.

    The WD Passport first of all is small. You don't want to carry around a bulky drive. I like the capacity. It will hold more pictures and data than I need actually.

    We love this for storing our office files. It's essential that we can encrypt so we use the built in encryption along with Bitlocker to ensure maximum security.

    I currently use this HDD for archiving ALL my photos (triple redundancy always), as well as ALL Steam Games with no noticeable "lag time". Works well thus far, and So glad it comes in different colors as it is easier to tell multiple HDD apart with a glance and black is getting old.

    this little battery does a great job. I use it when traveling to power my tablet or e-reader and it gives several hours of life on each charge. Great product.

    Its a nice drive to carry, looks good, its WD so very solid and compared to my seagate it gives me least problems while connecting. My seagate fell one time on the carpeted floor and stopped working, had to get it replaced. this fell multiple times and has not shown any problems yet.

    This is the kind of prouduct is hard to review after such a smal period of time. All I can say for now per the brand a capacity it was okay deal. Honestly, I wouldn't have paid this much if it wasn't because I had some gift cards.

    Recently had my hard drive die and had to replace my computer. The hard drive data was recovered and this device was used to store that data. It's capacity is large enough that I now use it to do a weekly backup on the new computer. Gives me peace of mind knowing that my data is secure.
