    I have always bought Western Digital products to meet my storage demands. This 4TB My Passport External USB is no different except for one thing: it's blue. So when I go looking through my hard drives I know this 4TB one is blue. It also loads faster than most of my other drives and holds a lot more data.

    This Drive is by far the Best Value for overall Use. It allows me to store a Backup Partition, a Media Partition, AND a Portable OS partition, and still perform very fast. The USB 3.0 Feature allows me to Transfer Documents and Files a an Amazing Speed. I think it will Satisfy any Customer who needs plenty of Space on a Budget.

    Drive is used as one of many local backup endpoints in our house. You can never have too many copies :). These drives have been found to be reliable; this is one of many from this is one of many I have purchased from WD. The only problem I have ever had is one of out-growing the drive :)

    This is a very good product when compared with the performance vs price. If it has usb-c port that would have helped with faster data transfers.

    We purchased this passport drive as a backup to our G-Tech. I was worried about the transfer speed shooting in 4k but this little guy handled it all very well. We are shooting outdoors in triple digit heat and without any hiccups, this little guy performed like a much larger drive. Great price and great little drive.

    I got this for my xbox to be able to store more games and it works fluidly and fast. Highly recommend since your unable to swap out the internal drive like you can with PS4 without voiding your warranty. This way works great! Never have to delete in order to make room for more with this drive.

    I've owned many hard drives over the years. Some failed some lasted. WD was always the most reliable. I purchased this hard drive based on time tested reliability. My videos, pictures and documents are extremely important to me and this is the only brand external hard drive I trust to save all those important files.
