    Bought this to have encrypted backups. Works pretty well. Western Digital never disappoints.

    Connected quickly. This is about the third or fourth external drive I’ve owned. We will see if it lasts as some don’t losing all my data. I recommend owning two, and making them mirrors. Hoping this one will not be an issue.

    Haven’t ever had issues with a WD drive failing prematurely. Nice looking in blue, too. Stands out from boring black.

    I've bought a number of these over the years in different sizes, but the Passport is one of the best small form factor, quick and easy externals for any type of backup you may need without an external power source.

    All other external hard drives I've have managed to wake up from sleep and a reboot. This one has had perpetual problems and often needed to be unplugged and plugged in again, and sometimes even for the computer to be rebooted to get the system to read it. WD support said I should not keep it plugged in all the time. Not very helpful! The many other drives I've had before and since work the way they should and are able to wake up every time. This was a burden to bear till I bought a new one the next year. The only plus was that it didn't lose any data.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Does what it’s supposed to. I had trouble connecting the o line portion where you can back up online and retrieve that info without plugging in the passport but that’s not really a feature I needed. Great value.
