    Good, but slightly harder to use on Mac

    The memory is good and quick, but it kept asking to get a program called nfts to be able to create new folders. After I downloaded the program, it stopped working altogether so I had to go to the Apple Store and reset the pc to be able to use it. It should no be so complicated

    Good stuff! Works great! Meets and exceeds all my expectations. I wanted to purchase the 5T model, but they were out of stock. However, this one is perfect for my use.

    Great little external HD that is easy to use and fits all my backup needs. Only thing is it should be the same price aa all the other colors. But it is more expensive.

    Great drive. I bought this drive for my wife to store her work product. She is a published author with about 30 books on Amazon. The drive has plenty of room for manuscripts, PDFs, cover art, audio book files, etc.

    I love this hard drive because it’s convenient. I can slip it into my photography bag or even a small backpack or pocket and I take a lot of pictures and it has been my best friend so far.

    High Quality and Low Priced Storage

    Western Digital has become my disk supplier of choice. WD has established the disk storage standard. Sure, it is still rotating storage but can you image 4 Terabytes of hardware encrypted storage for about $100. I've been in IT for about 50 years and remember when a single megabyte of storage was more than $100.

    Works how it should. Easy to install and use. Fast USB 3.0 transfer speed. Nice color, stands out compared to black and grays that are the norm. Light and easy to carry and transport. Would recommend for anyone looking for a portable drive.

    WD makes the best portable hard drives - this is my 4th external HDD from them, and all 3 of my prior drives are still working fine. I needed something larger to backup all the backups and it's doing the job fine. Fast enough for a non-SSD, plus it's a pretty red color.

    This was a great price, I like that you can set a password and it's plenty of space and you can partition if you like. You can format it for whatever you like. I choose FAT32 format becuase I don't need to save files over 4GB but I do need to use it for both my mac and pc.

    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 red color is bright and bold.

    This drive is pretty good if all you really need is an affordable way to do cold or maybe even warm backups, but it isn't terribly fast on my systems. All that being said i'm very satisfied with the capacity and the modest reasonable write/read speeds.

    Purchased the WD-My Passport 4TB external drive for storage for years of photographs. The drive works great and is fast. I am very pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone needing external or additional storage space.

    Bought this specifically to attach to my PS4 to store game files on and it works great. If you find yourself like me and need alot more space for games because Modern Warfare keeps pushing out gigantic updates, then this hard drive is for you! Just a quick format and it was ready to use.

    Very handy little backup device. This is great for backing up photos from my phone. Really easy to use, just plug in (to your phone’s cable) and follow prompts. I also back up to a cloud, but this is easier when I want to transfer photos to another device.
