Portable high volume storage is incredibly helpful

My sons PS4 Pro was running out of room and he was sad that he would have to delete some of the games. So I swung by my Semi-Local Best Buy and picked this up. Easy to format. Just Plug in and use. As storage? Plug into your PC and you are good to go. Cheap, fast, and a must buy if you need that extra space.

It's a compact easy to find hard drive that makes me feel secure that my data is always backed up. I plug it in every day so I never have to worry that if anything happened to my hard drive that I wouldn't have a back up. Nothing confusing about it. No setup or lengthy instructions. Plenty of space. Highly recommend.

Not too much to say about these. It's a great, (relatively) fast, reliable portable hard drive. The newer Plus models have USB-C and a metal body, but these (plastic) Passport drives come in brighter colors which are great for identifying individual drives at a glance. The color is kind of an electric blue. Bright and bold.

Lightweight pocket size harddrive. Tons of storage- I have hundreds of high quality clips saved and more

I was looking to replace an old 1TB storage device, another brand, that was making noises and possibly going to fail. Pleased this doubled my capacity and was reasonably priced...plus in stock. Would have likely purchased a smaller unit; but for the extra $, if it operates ok, it will provide years of storage.

Great storage easy to setup easy use,hope to get a lot from this

As someone who has lost important data through a computer crash, this was a good option. It is easy to use, and am able to retrieve data once backed up. I have had for about 6 months - so far, so good.

This is my 'go-to' portable external storage drive. It has plenty of space for my projects which contain large graphics files. It just works!

So far so good. Using this as a media streamer. As a former music/ tour photographer and working over 23 yrs as a photographer in general I have a lot of photos, music and videos I’ve collected over the years. Hold everything fine. Works great with Plex.

Anyone who works with a mobile device should have one of these to use as a back up, especially anyone who travels for work like I do. I love the color, it's stylish, sturdy and it's small enough so it doesn't take up too much space in my purse or my bag.

Works great for extra storage. Works for ps5 as ps4 games storage or to transfer ps5 games onto console instead of downloading them all the time just make sure you format it first.

as advertised! Good value, good design, nice size, easy to use

You never think you will need 4TB, until your server crashes and your cloud backup is corrupted, and... We grabbed this as a redundant backup for our secondary office server and it updates daily. The speed and ease of use are great. WD products and pricing are fantastic.

Very large backup storage at a great price!. Easy to configure, easy to backup quickly for the emergency data recovery.

I loved the price for the amount of storage. Easy to down load and format.

I've copies over thousands of photos from my laptops and still have lots of space. It was easy to connect and begin using. I've had several Western Digital External hard drives and they have worked well. I'm not sure how I was supposed to be able to use encryption on this one.

This is a great option when you need to backup a small server.

Nice hard drive. I haven't had this one very long, but it works well. I don't use the WD software at all, so I'm no help in commenting on that part of the product. A solid state drive is certainly better, but they're pricey at this point, so this one is perfect for my needs.

Very good product. I am using it as a backup drive which will taken offsite and stored in a safe deposit box. It is small and light and doesn't take up much room in the box. It is fast enough to pull data at about half of the maximum SATA speed (much faster that an inexpensive SSD when receiving a large amount of data). I run the backup every two weeks or so, so I'm not worried about the drive longevity.
