    Nothing beats the value that WD provided with these external drives! Just know it's a HDD using USB 3.0, so you're not going to get blazing fast read/write speeds. But for pure space to backup your files, it's hard to beat the price. I own several of these over a number of years and have not had a problem with the actual drive itself. Highly recommend for anyone on a budget.

    Good for its price, at least to keeping important stuff like Music and Video which often takes up a lot of space.

    Bought this for my PS5. This thing is perfect for that. I plugged it in and it formatted quickly. 4TB is nice to store PS4 games or throwing the occasional PS5 game on it. Super simple to use and a great price point.

    Owned many WD external drives (Mostly WD My Book drives) over the years and have never been disappointed. This one is just the same. Purchased this to back up files on my failing old computer. Like the compact size and capacity. Only disappointment is Best Buy did not have the black color drive in stock, so I went with the Red.

    We use a set of four disks to backup 2 servers. We cycle the disks on a set schedule. They have been extremely reliable and when we have needed them, they returned the data with no issues. When we installed two new servers we purchased a new set of disks based on their reliable and ease of use.

    Wasn't sure where to start when looking for an external hard drive for my PS4. After lots of research and mixed reviews, decided to give this WD drive a shot. Installation was quick and easy, giving me an extra 4 tb of space. Transfer of data to the new device did take a while (approximately 4 hours), but had no trouble. Overall great product for the price.

    No problems with it and I have only family pictures on it. I have a scanned pictures from early 1800’s on it. We have about 2T filled. I am a professional photographer and I do scrapbooking, both traditional and digital. I like the size of the hard drive. Iris great for transportation. I have another 4T just like it I use for business.

    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.

    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.

    Great portable drive

    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.

    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.
