    I've bought WD external hard drives for years. But this My Passport 4TB was a complete failure from the start. Multiple PCs and laptops failed to even recognize it. Therefore, useless.

    I have a windows 10 PC and spent a lot of time with support trying to get the back-up program to work automatically. Basically, it will not recognize my photo files on windows. I have to manually copy the files from A to B which is OK, but not as advertised by WD. I hope there is an update that will fix this.

    Waited 15 minutes for curbside pickup, then went into the store, waited on line since the person doing the curbside had other responsibilities. Then I was treated rudely. I am not going to be back to Best Buy when I can get the same products at Target or Amazon

    Not a bad drive. Hate the case. No more rubber feet and color matched cable. Cheap! Make sure to download the latest security lock program to enable drive locking. Older program did not recognize drive. Ditto to unlocking and diagnostic program.
