I've had one of these for a number of years, and I just bought another to dedicate to storing tutorials and pictures. The device does some with a disc for installing software, but that isn't necessary to use the drive and load tons of data for safe keeping. The price is good, and My Passport seems to work a little more reliably than any other storage system I've had in the past. Add to that its compact size and its really hard to beat. I'm not sure that there is a better option for home use.

Fast, compact drive. Works great. Only complaint is that it doesn't come with a USB-C adapter, but it says that in the description.

My old portable hard drive broke, so I bought this one. This portable hard drive is easy to use and has more space than my previous one. I like that it is slim, and not bulky.

Large amount of storage and portable that I can transfer/use files on other computers without worry - can have EVERYTHING on this including business and personal items. I can also access if necessary from anyone who has a computer handy. Color was "just what Best Buy had on the shelf" when I needed it.

These are great drives. I have 2 or 3 of them, and I got one for my mother. They've all been stable, no loss of data. One is the external drive for my PS5, and it's held up just fine. Can't ask for more than that, especially at the price point.

I have been using this drive for a month now and the speed isn’t world class, but it works perfectly for storing important files like my photography portfolio and any graphic design elements I want to keep for future use, I have been using WD drives without any failing for at least 8 years now. Great product!

I was overall satisfied, but if you are playing on a laptop and not going to be playing video games (or whatever you do) on a solid tabletop I would definitely worry about the cord or to be more careful with it. I think if your looking for a good terabyte though it is very good by the way I use this terabyte for downloading video games and I have not yet to have noticed it taking long to load (I’ve had it for about 6-7 months) so as I know with some terabytes do. So yes very good and definitely recommend.

With this specific external memory I was able to save more than 4000 thousand photos in minutes. And it is really easy to utilize. I really recommend it since it’s not the first one I bought but it is the best one I got.

I use this to increase the storage for my PS4. It was totally plug and play. Up and running in under a minute. I haven't experienced any lag when playing games downloaded to this. Excellent product. Getting another for my laptop

After reading other reviews, I chose this to replace my older (and much larger) WD 3TB drive that seemed to be lagging. This drive was easy to set up and partition into 3TB backup/1TB storage. So far it’s performing extremely well.

Over the past decade, I've been partial to WD products whenever I needed external storage and/or back-up for my computer, particularly their My Passport external drives, because of their ergonomic design, ease of use, and product reliability. Therefore, when I needed another external hard drive recently, I bought this 4TB drive without hesitation. I've been extremely pleased with the performance of this drive and it is very easy to use as always. As a bonus, the blue top plate with the diagonal groves looks attractive and provides a positive grip when handling the drive. This was on sale at Best Buy when I bought it, making it an even sweeter deal.

Got this for my ps5 to have all my ps4 games on and still be able to play them without having to delete and redownload games that i might want to play. Very easy to use, just plug it up and format then, download the games and good to go. You can your ps4 games right off of the drive and never use up your ps5 space.

I bought this for my PS4 to install my games on it. It worked exactly how you would want it to. The cool thing is, when I got a PS5 for my son, I plugged this in and it read all of my games without issue. You can put PS5 games on here if you don't want to delete and re-download, but you can't play PS5 games off of it (not the drive's fault, PS5 just needs direct access which is a new feature only on nvme pcie gen 4 drives), but PS4 games work perfectly.
10/10 would buy again.
