||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before purchase I had an Element backup and earlier model Passport. The new Passport incorporates both in one. Works great but in the new Passport Ultra the backup information was lousy!!!

great back up
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.needed a new back up hard drive as my computer's motherboard fried. Fortunately my tech guy was able to pull the 800GB of data off of it and store it on this. It has plenty of room, fairly fast connection to the data. I also have a WD cloud that works great, this will just make my life that much easier.

Liked it so much I bought a second one
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked my original so much I bought a second one. You can never have too much backup protection and I don’t like the cloud. I like to keep my files duplicated on a backup drive but sometimes the drives will fail, so I like having a backup of my backup.

Got this at a discount and now I know why
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works but has some issues with large file loads and made a terrible clicking sound while accessing big files. Recommend as a backup but not your main storage unit.

Manuscript Storage
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Happy with this Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Another great WD portable hard drive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great portable drives
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Extra space for PS4
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

It works great! Just too high of price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

The great little backup device
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
