While some users experienced compatibility issues, these were less frequently reported than positive feedback. The drive's occasional noise was another minor concern raised by a few customers.

    Although it's not very quick and it's disk based (which means it has a limited lifespan) , I bought it due to the cheap price and ease of using it. I think it was $120 at the time, and it completely holds my needs in terms of storage.

    At first I was very hesitated to get the WD My passport drive, but alot of the Best Buy employees told me that this is the one everyone usually gets and has great reviews. I needed a new external hard drive for my PS4 after the 4.50 update(do not purchase if u do not have this update). Ended up working very well so far. Also there is different variety of colors.

    I picked this up so I could consolidate 3 smaller hard drives on to one. WD makes great hard drives and this is no exception with it's quick read and write speeds. I also like this module because you can put an encrypted password on it for security if you want but just remember if you do and you forget the pass then you are out of luck and you will never get your info back. Even if the hard drive is removed from the case and plugged in directly to a PC you can only view encrypted files. In other words this HD can only be used with the integral hardware inside the Passport case making it very secure.

    My son needed extra storage for his Xbox One. He wanted a 2TB external hard drive but we bought the 3TB drive instead. Great item - ample storage for an expert gamer.

    Keeping backups is important to us. We have had computer failures over the years and lost data. This gives us a sense of security plus its portable.

    I recently purchased a 2 TB metal version for a similar price. This has 50% more storage capacity at a similar cost. I have been able to format it just as my other "Mac" compatible version. Currently using as Time Machine on Macbook Pro 15" (mid 2015) and it works just fine. The color is cool and the design is alright.
