    Bought to expand my Time Machine capacity and it was literally plug an play. Starbucks barista takes longer than what it took to setup this HD.

    I bought this for my PS4 to add all my PS Plus games on & all my hard copies also. I was getting tired of deleting to make room whenever I bought a new game, but now I have all the storage in the world. I never had my PS Plus games downloaded​because I never had the extra space, but now I can play any of those games at anytime because they are downloaded ready to play, & still only used up ½ of the new memory.

    This passport is awesome.I don't have to worry about Mechanical parts failing since it is small enough to carry around.I had no issues with this drive when I bought and opened it up.Everyone should buy this name brand drive.Just avoid bigger harddrives cause they break easy.This Harddrive is worth your money.This product powers up by usb only.I love it cause it saves a headache.Thank God WD made something with good products.This drive will probably last longer since it is designed differently.

    I’ve owned both this and a previous My Passport from 2015. This new version is cosmetically different than the old one, but other than that it functions the same. I didn’t use any of the included software, and I ran into initial issues formatting it on MacOS. WD has an article about how to do it properly on their website, and if you follow the directions it works fine. I don’t consider this a fault of the drive however since it’s a MacOS problem.
