    I actually have three of these My Passport 4TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drives in red. black, and blue. I rotate the backups. All of them work great. Much fast than my old 2TB drive from another brand.

    I started using GoPro video on a business application. I soon ran out of memory on my desktop. The 4 TB size is just what I needed, I went back a week later and bought another one for my personal use.

    Great Overall External Harddrive

    Fast hard drive and overall very responsive and portable. Only thing negative is the fact that it already has .4 GB space taken up for the software. I wouldn't have minded if it was .1 GB, but a whole .4 is a bit excessive if you ask me. They should have 4tb full size instead of cheaping out the customer. In general the drive works great and very portable.

    I bough this external hard drive at a great price for the amount of storage it holds. It reads very rapidly and file transfer is fast as well. I highly recommend it if you work with any file size.

    Such a good product to buy, small but has more than enough room for multiple back ups. I have all my work folders and papers on here and nothing has been lost or left out of my back up.

    I have tried quite a few brands bought from brick and mortar stores, and I gravitate toward the WD Passport brand for the security features. This version is better than the previous model - though bigger, it is much faster and more compatible across my different computers. I wish it had a few more features, but it works great for what it is and I got it here for a great price.

    I have several Passports and have never had a problem with them unlike a couple Seagate backups I had. These last forever and work well. The software that comes bundled can be a hassle at times

    This drive is really nice if you need a way to backup your files. I purchased it to backup all my files on a couple of computers. If I get a ransom virus on my computer, I want to be able restore my files instead of paying someone a ransom to access my files. The drive is compact and fits in my back pack. I've purchased a couple of these drives and they have worked well.

    This is an upgrade from my previous passport that I loved. I updated to a terrabyte drive to try to do more with music and movies. WD's passport drives are generally great. Never an issue.

    It's an external hard drive, I didn't expect more than what I got. It was everything I needed, and it formatted to my PS4 Pro easily. Worth the buy, do wish they were cheaper in general.
