    The 3 Terabyte Passport External Hard Drive connects via a USB cord (provided) and is super easy to use. The file transfers are fast and easy. This is a great device.

    Western Digital is my go-to hard drive and has been for 15 years. The only issue with these drives is that the encryption is hardware-based. If you're going to need encryption software is the way to go. If the hardware fails when using Hardware encryption you can kiss your data goodbye.

    I didn't realize this backup was the same as a mirror image of your drive. I was able to load my backup to a new computer with all programs and software as well as data. Awesome!!

    This is a pretty great external hard drive for the price, it's a little bigger in size than your typical my passport portable drives. Fast response times and connection speeds

    I purchased this to archive video and photos. It writes and reads really fast and have had no issues yet after a few weeks. The only thing I wish it had was a software to partition a part of the drive for Mac files in case I need to share with Mac and Windows users. Otherwise it seems OK.

    I use it to mirror a hard drive using Carbonite. It works fine. One drawback: it cannot be used to boot a hard drive, so it is necessary to create a DVD/CD for that purpose.

    I'm a big fan of external storage. I don't like to keep important documents on my laptop in case of a crash. Large drive. Nice.

    A difficult product to set up for an Apple Mac computer. It took me three attempts and I still had trouble with it. It was a couple of weeks and many headaches and reboots before the drive was working properly.

    I have never had an issue with these portable drives, although I was concerned that something around 3TB might be an issue. No issues yet, which is always great.

    I purchased three of these to be used as a rotating backup solution for a media server. The encryption adds a great feature for this. They seem to work well.

    Bought a few of these to rotate backs through and they’ve been great. Wish they were SSD but for the price they’re great.
