    Was completely intimidated about using this type of device as I've only bought flash/thumb drives before. Super easy and comes with a high quality cord.

    WD My Passport is one of the best portable hard drives on the market. With the lastest PS4 firmware, you'll have more than enough space for all your digital games and contents.

    My backup drive for my Mac's was running out of space and I had quite a few Best Buy bonus points because of a large purchase so I looked to see what was available. This particular model was on sale so I went for it, knowing full well I'd have to reformat it (it came, of course, formatted for Windows.) I had a little trouble getting it reformatted -- no fault of the drive, just that some parts of OS X's disk utility were a little less intuitive than I'd expected. Sorry, I don't remember the particular sequence of steps needed to accomplish the task, suffice it to say it can be done with a little perseverance.

    This drive is very reliable and has fast read/write speeds for transferring data. I use them for video editing and they do not bottle-neck the video editing process.

    External HDDs are pretty much a necessity if you have an Xbox One X since games are enormous in size. Easy to start using immediately, just plug and play.

    Found the unit easy to set-up; operational in minutes. While Passport Backup software will automatically schedule and perform backups it is not how I intend to use the drive.

    Bought this and it is compatible with pc and Mac, however be careful because on Mac it is read only. Maybe there is a way to edit it on Mac as well but I have not found out how. This may be on the specs but I did not pay a lot it attention when I purchased it.
