    Awesome! It's a viable and compact solution for backing-up computer files. This portable hard drive is easily transportable. It is especially quiet.

    I am a video editor, so I need a lot of storage and it is extremely helpful that it is in a small space. It is very good at not over heating and I have had one of these for years with a 4TB and still not used up all of the storage! Its great!

    Outstanding product! Quietly backs up my iMac without issue, super easy setup and no other maintenance. Recovery is as easy as the setup. I would but another, but I don't need it!

    Software problems with my computer required reformatting the hard drive - that is when My Passport came to the rescue. I was able to install the OS onto My Passport, then use it to boot the ailing computer. It is now my primary hard drive for that machine.

    I like WD and Samsung drives. I use the Samsung drives as a second hard disk for photo editing (holds my photos and catalogs) and the WD I like for backup and restore. Samsung are faster from what I can tell and WD provide speed and more space at a lower price point. Both of these brands are realiable.

    Worked right out of the box. Using it for extra storage with my iMac so reformatted it to APFS with no problems. Great for storing photos, pictures, videos, etc. that chew up internal disk space.

    Purchased for use as a travel & backup drive, as it has a much higher capacity than just a thumb/flashdrive. Excellent quality and usability as always from Western Digital.

    Have used this brand in the past and it has never failed. Bought this for my laptop knowing that I would never fill it up. I would recommend this to to anyone needing a back up. The red doesn't get lost on my black desk.

    Again, I use these for saving and moving AVI movie files when I don't have access to a streaming device. Many of my AVI movies are not available on streamnf services.

    bought these for use and stock. This is the kind of thing I try and keep on hand. You never want to worry about data loss and with Western Digital I never have. Hard to believe this much data on so small a device.
