    I am a video editor, so I need a lot of storage and it is extremely helpful that it is in a small space. It is very good at not over heating and I have had one of these for years with a 4TB and still not used up all of the storage! Its great!

    Top picks. Plastic built didn’t give me much confidence, but the product itself was fine. Found a better alternative during a promotion, otherwise I would’ve kept it!

    Software problems with my computer required reformatting the hard drive - that is when My Passport came to the rescue. I was able to install the OS onto My Passport, then use it to boot the ailing computer. It is now my primary hard drive for that machine.
