    I initially backed up files from my HP. When I went to use it for my back up for my Mac it had to be erased. It has been giving me some error messages ever since and at times my Mac doesn’t want to recognize it. The device is built well and transfer rate is fast when it is working. I have other devices like this that have worked great. I’m not sure if this is just a fluke.

    Use this for external backup of the PC. Ran out of space on the 2TB unit and upgraded to this one. Plug it in, copy files to it and done. It has a much faster transfer rate than I expected, so that was a plus.

    I have had 2 Hard drives die in my PC now so I wanted a solution for backing up my data. This a great budge solution. the data is saved and i can unplug the drive so it is not wearing out as fast.

    WD has quite a few different hard drives for storage. I prefer using this My Passport range as it has encryption. You can set a long password so that no-one has access to your data or information.

    Easy to use. Seems to work well. My previous Passport worked well for a few months then the USB port came loose, rendering the drive unusable and data unavailable. Hopefully this one lasts longer. Remember to back up your backups.

    No drivers to download, plug and play… some hard drives automatically start backing up your PC… this product gives you the option…I love it, I have several and never had any issues.
