    It's working well so far with reasonable read and write speeds. Hardware encryption is included as well. I wish it had USB-C port!

  • Old technology

    Probably not BB fault, but it was old technology. The USB cord attached to WD Passport, that I 'attempted' to plug into a 1-year-old Dell laptop computer, was the same one sold 5 years ago for my old computer. WD, I have always loved your external hard drives, but I returned this one because you told me I could order an upgraded USB connector from your site. Do you really expect people to spend $130 on old technology, attempt to hook it up, only to find out they need to order a new adapter because you failed to add to a 2021 piece of technology???

    Without being a computer expert, something as simple as backing up files onto the device, was not that simple.

    Great value, if time is not of the essence. Works for file archiving when you're not in a hurry.

    I think the external hard drive is OK but why didn't WD provide clear instructions on how to set it up with Windows 10? If it is set up to do the backup in the middle of the night the problem is that my computer goes to "sleep" after 30 minutes of inactivity but of course I don't want the back-up to take place while I'm in the middle of working with with my computer.

    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.
