    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!

    Very good storage. Beware apple users, you need to format the drive before using it. Besides that, it is terrific for storing projects. The connecting cable is not common so treat it well or you'll have trouble ordering a new one online.

    I recently purchased (4/16/21) the WD My Passport 4TB Ext. USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Red. Plugged it in to my computer. It installed properly. I transferred files to it. This was a smooth, fast transfer. So far, so good.

    It works just fine. The major item was the amount of storage and it was a large storage external. I store large files, up to 500 mg ea.

    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!

    Worked right out of the box. Using it for extra storage with my iMac so reformatted it to APFS with no problems. Great for storing photos, pictures, videos, etc. that chew up internal disk space.

    Have used this brand in the past and it has never failed. Bought this for my laptop knowing that I would never fill it up. I would recommend this to to anyone needing a back up. The red doesn't get lost on my black desk.

    I like WD and Samsung drives. I use the Samsung drives as a second hard disk for photo editing (holds my photos and catalogs) and the WD I like for backup and restore. Samsung are faster from what I can tell and WD provide speed and more space at a lower price point. Both of these brands are realiable.
