Lots of storage at a very good price, and it works great to back up my desktop drives. Also like the compact size and no need for external power supply like my old back up drives.

Works great. I've had three different generations of this external hard drive. Fast, small, and lots of colors if you need to get one for your girlfriend's Xbox, win win.

I purchased this after nearly losing all of my life's pictures and documents. It is extremely fast, super portable and quite simply great at what it is supposed to do.

Imma be honest, only reason why I got this one aside from other brands was bc of the password protection. As far as I can tell it’s been working well & has plenty of storage for the games Ive been playing on my PC. Pretty easy to install.

I've had Passport before, but this is smaller, but with 4 gigabytes, can do a system backup as well as many photos and documents. so I was surprised after waiting through the night, my backup did not work. Since Microsoft would rather sell cloud space, they are doing away with a backup and, if I want to back my system and years of records up, I need to find another f backup system if I want to use the My Passport for backups..

Though I am still amazed that a 4TB external can now be this small and afforable, it is a pretty standard external hard drive. Nice quick transfer though and I appreciate the capacity given the size.

Not bad for the 4TB size and that it is not an SSD. Speed was good for a hybrid drive this size. It does require it's specific USB cable that comes with the drive, to give you the speed. I bought this for my LG QNED tv I just purchased. It's now full and runs the 1080p and higher movies great. The only thing that would make this better is if it was a SSD.

Good external hard drive for traveling with: Lighter than most, reliable with decent speed (this is my 14th purchase in various colors). Powered from the USB port/cable so there is no external power brick. If you are using a USB hub it will need to be a powered (external power added to the hub) since the amount being provided to the hub is not enough to power multiple drives. These are smaller and lighter than the prior models but come with black cords instead of color coded to the drive shell.
