    I needed a hard drive to port files back and forth to work, and this has done a great job for me.

    I have switched pretty much completely to wd passports as they are reliable and have a lot of good features including back up and encryption. Now they go up to 4 TB. The only thing I don't like is this new external case which has sharper corners than the old case

    As storage gets cheaper, I keep upgrading but I think this one I will not outgrow for a while. WD has always been very reliable.

    I use this as a backup to my home pc. Still easy to use. Plug it in and update every so often. I also have a backup hard drive in addition to a solid state drive for the os in my home tower. This is used as a second backup just in case.

    I've had a few Western Digital external drives over the years. They're all still running great. I expect this one to run for a while as well. This drive worked great to back up my work computer prior to being rebuilt to Win10. I expect this drive will eventually be used with my Xbox One.

    fast easy to use, more is better but you need to back up regularly as if you somehow drop it. (while on)... you may have nothing. I have done this by accident 3 TIMES...…once was a total failure the other two times some data loss..... good thing I have my backups.

    So far, this has been a problem free portable hard drive. It has been my experience that usually if there is a problem or quirk it takes time for it to show. However WD makes great hard drives and I would bet, if asked later, I would still have no complaints.

    WD does it again! I have had the 1TB, 2TB versions of this and have no issues. When this came out on sale I know I had to get it. Now, i can save all my files and backups and carry it without having to use an ac adapter like their bigger desktop versions. Also, it has 3 yrs warranty.

    After comparing prices in different stores, I went up to the store closest to me and the gentleman that helped me suggested upgrading to the 4TB which was only $10 difference, and I believe he was right! This external drive is light, small and easy to carry with all my other stuff

    Essentially I am not a big fan of cloud storage but I keep all my files in an external drive. I was going to get the 6-8TB but do not want to carry an extra A/C adapter. I love the portability and being able to carry it with me to continue my film projects.

    WD always makes a great product. Have used WD products for a long time and they have always lasted long into newer technology. Bought for my xbox one and it works great. I still have a giant 2008 1tb desktop storage device from WD that I still use. Great products from great company.

    For years I had been having problems keeping up with my large digital music collection. This hard drive has been perfect with space to load my files and correct them with working from two separate computers. Highly recommend!

    These hard drives from Western Digital are easy to use and can also be encrypted. I have bought multiple in the past and have no issues in connecting, using or transporting. These have the traditional hard drives in them but are well built and stylish as well.
